Opening a File 
 
     Open a file by double-clicking its icon in the Filesystems tab of the Explorer.
If the file isn't in the Filesystems tab, you must mount it as a filesystem to add it to your class path. To mount a filesystem:
In the main window, choose File->Mount Filesystem.
In the New wizard, select the Local Directory node. Then click Next.
Navigate to the directory you want to mount and select that directory.
If you are mounting a Java hierarchy, select the parent directory of your package structure.
Click Finish
 In a Hurry?
 
In the main window, choose File->Open File. The IDE will mount the filesystem.

When you compile and run Java applications within the IDE, the mounted directories and archive files make up the Java class path.
   Creating a File or Object 
To create a new file in the IDE, you must first select a template for the type of file you want to create.
In the Explorer, right-click the directory that you want to put the file in, and choose a file type from the New submenu.
Follow the wizard instructions.







 Using Projects
You can start working on the IDE without creating a project. All functions are available from the Filesystems tab in the Explorer. You can later create projects in the IDE and configure settings individually for each project.
