The Method Tree

Along with the Method Explorer, JDesignerPro includes the Method Tree. This is an expandable tree structure that breaks down the elements of any Java class or Enterprise Java Bean. These windows give you a complete visual representation of your Java source file.

Tree Display

The method tree shows all of the globals, constructors, accessors and methods that make up you Java source. They are grouped in the following categories:

Globals - the global variables that are defined for this source.
Constructors - the constructors that can be used to create an instance of this class.
Accessors - the public set and get methods for accessing and modifying the globals.
Public - methods that are for use by classes outside of this one.
Methods - general purpose methods that are neither public nor private.
Private - methods that are for internal use only and cannot be accessed from external classes

Tree Functions

By clicking twice on each of these groups or any of the items below a group a popup menu will be displayed. They are multi-level menus that provides a number of options for creating or removing entries as well as other functions depending on which group/item is clicked on.

When you create a new object, it appears in the proper location in the tree. It will move around the tree according to any changes you make to it's properties on the Definition screen. A new object's source skeleton is placed in the source window for you to begin filling in the source there. As soon as you reference another existing object in this class file these references will show up in the Method Explorer.

BulletProof also has multimedia demos available to more quickly understand the features and how they act. They are in AVI format for easy launch on your Windows machine.
