## The JBuilder development environment

The JBuilder integrated development environment (IDE) consists of a window that contains several panes and panels for performing most development functions: editing, visual designing, navigating, browsing, compiling, and debugging. This window is called the AppBrowser.

Note: To expand this window full width, choose View|Toggle Curtain from JBuilder's main menu.

Use the IDE Options dialog box (Tools|IDE Options) to customize the development environment. You can control such IDE options as:

- UI Look and Feel
- Recognized file types
- Run/Debug options
- Audio options
- Web view options (JBuilder Professional and Enterprise)
- XML options (JBuilder Professional and Enterprise)
- UML display options (JBuilder Enterprise)
- EJB Designer options (JBuilder Enterprise)
