Interface Nodes in the Explorer

For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all interfaces and inner
interfaces as interface nodes (
).
Each interface node expands to reveal subnodes representing its member elements,
such as methods, fields, and bean patterns.
Contextual Menu Commands
You can right-click any interface node to access a contextual menu containing the
following commands:
- Open. Opens the file and jumps to the interface in the Source Editor.
- Cut, Copy, and Paste. Lets you cut, copy, and paste entire interfaces
into other form objects, source files, or classes.
- Add. Lets you add new Java elements such as methods and constructors
to your interface.
- Override Methods. Lets you override any method inherited from the
interface's superclasses.
- Tools. Contains commands for carrying out various actions on your
code, such as synchronizing changes, generating Javadoc documents, and managing
import statements.
