What is the Tools Panel


The tools panel simply contains all the basic functions any java ide needs. It has the the compile, run, run applet, and etc buttons on it. You simply drag'n drop a project, package, file, or class onto one of the icons and it will do the assigned action to project, package, file, or class.

Pressing the buttons pulls up a dialog that allows you to cofigure options for that function. You can assign the program that does the compiling and what command-line options you want that program to have.
