Classbrowser for Java

[BrightSoul]

Hello,
I have to practice a bit with the Java Environment. I downloaded that netBeans IDE and I'm starting to move the first steps. Now, even if I find the whole thing familiar since I'm already a C# developer, I still need a classbrowser / reflector for Java that could show me the contents of all those Java packages such as java.io, java.lang, java.math, java.whatever.
I just need to view the classes they contain, their methods & properties, just like the Lutz Roeder's reflector (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/) does for the .NET framework.

I think I found the solution when I went here:

but I can't make it work because it throws an exception as soon as I launch it. Can you provide a valid alternative classbrowser?

Many thanks in advance :wave:

Why not just look at the Java API documentation? It's a lot more coherent than browsing disassembled class files or even the source code (which comes with the JDK).

Dosen't Netbeans have a feature similiar to what VS provides? That little drop down list that lists all of the methods contained within the class. I forget what Microsoft calls it. Im pretty sure it's not called code complete.

Yes, actually. I'm using both the Intellisense and the Object Browser that are built in netBeans. I'm missing a search feature though :blush: It's useful if you're searching for a specific method. Here's a silly example:

Which class has a method to draw an ellipse?

If I had a search function I would type in "ellipse" and the classbrowser would return the names of all the classes it has found.
But nevermind, I can survive without that feature. Google is always my friend, of course :)

Just installed netbeans, but after a quick look, I don't see any class browser...how do one get to it?
