Classbrowser for Java
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 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

Re: Classbrowser for Java
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).

Re: Classbrowser for Java
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.

Re: Classbrowser for Java
Yes, actually. I'm using both the Intellisense and the Object Browser that are built in netBeans. I'm missing a search feature though 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
