includes the core IDE overlaid with a suite of modules designed to speed and enhance the development process.
It is highly customizable, and the modular structure can be extended with plug-in extensions from NetBeans or third parties. Forte for Java Community Edition includes numerous modules, including a form editor, a test editor, an object browser, a debugger, an auto udate module, Java source and class modules, a JavaBeans module, and more.
The form editor provides the ability to visually create and modify both AWT- and Swing-based forms of all standard types, including applets.
The text editor module provides the standard text editor for the IDE. It provides extra features like package-, class-, and field- name completion and dynamic word completion, syntax coloring for many file types (Java, IDL, HTML, XML) and incremental search.
The object browser is a window providing a structured view of all Java classes in the Repository.
The debugger is a single-session multithreaded debugger providing full support for common debugging tools like breakpoints, watches, and threads.
The AutoUpdate Module allows you to track updates of IDE modules and the availability of new modules and perform the update from within the IDE.
The Java module is the heart of the Java development functionality - it provides support for editing, compilation and execution of Java sources.
Java classes without source code may be browsed in the Explorer with this module. You can examine its methods, variables and innerclasses the same way as with Java sources.
The JavaBeans module provides support for creating and incrementally modifying JavaBeans with source code.
