Iii. Introduction to the integrated development environment of JBuilder 9

Figure 10

We can see from 10 that the integrated development environment of jbuilder9 is a single window interface, A development platform that integrates multiple functions, such as editing, file and engineering management, visual interface design, browsing, compilation, debugging, and other operations. The following describes the names and functions of each part.

1. Main Menu Bar)

The main menu is very important for programming. For example, you can use it to open and save projects and files, load stored files, search for text in files, compile and Debug programs.

2. Main Toolbar)

The main toolbar is divided into several small toolbars according to its functions. The buttons above mainly provide quick access to menu commands.

3. Project pane)

The project window displays the content of the selected project for browsing and operating the project tree.

4. Project bar)

The project Toolbar contains a list of open projects and some buttons. These buttons are used to add, delete files, and close and update project files in the project window.

5. Structure pane)

The structure window is used to display the structure of the current file in the content window. For a Java file, this window shows all methods, attributes, and events in the form of a tree. The structure window has the ability to expand down. Double-click a class or the interface to view its ancestor class, which is very easy for users to find relevant information.

6. Content pane)

You can view the opened files in the content window. Each opened file has a label that displays its file name and various view labels at the bottom.

7. File View tag (FileView tabs)

The file view label is used to switch various views of a file in the content window, such as the source, design, Bean, Doc, or history view.

8. File tag)

The file tag is used to display the opened file name. Jbuilder9 only displays the file labels of the active project. To view an opened file, select its file tag. Note: When a file is modified, the X symbol on its tag is broken; otherwise, the X symbol is not broken.

9. Status Bar)

You can obtain the latest information about the process and its results in the status bar.

The above sections are most commonly used in JBuilder programming. After mastering their functions, we will have a deeper understanding of the JBuilder 9 programming environment.
The following describes the content in the integrated development environment of jbuilder9.

Configure tools, configure file associations, rmiregistry, and other menu items are used for file association and other object configuration work.
2) control bar

In any visual programming, the control bar is the most common tool for users to use the controls in the control library, and also provides quick and convenient programming. Each control in the control library is actually an object. Users can add and improve its functions and form a new control. In addition, the new control can be added to the control library and called by the program.

Click the design option in the file view label in "10". The content displayed in the content window is the user interface designer. The "control bar" appears at the top of the tab, and the control bar is located at the bottom right of the main menu, it is divided into 14 groups based on different control functions.

1. Swing page

Swing is an important part of the Java basic library (jfc). It implements a set of new gui (Graphics User Interface, graphical user interface) controls, it has a pluggable exterior effect (the pluggable exterior effect is that you only need to design a GUI control set to automatically obtain the interface with any OS platform (such as Windows, Solaris, macintosh. Swing is implemented in Java 100% and is based on the lightweight UI (User Interface) Framework of JDK (Java developmentkit and Java Development Kit.

Figure 12

In addition to the pure Java version that contains two existing AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit, Abstract Window Toolkit) control sets (such as buttons, scroll bars, labels, and so on, A complete set of advanced controls (such as tree view and list box) is added ).

2. Swing containers page

As shown in Figure 13, the swing containers page mainly contains the container appearances required by some swing controls to make the layout of the swing controls more reasonable.
