Setting Up Your Java 8 IDE: An Introduction to NetBeans 8.0 - Beginning Java 8 Games Development - page 30

Figure 2-1 . Project management panes, at the left of the IDE, include Projects, Files, Services, and Navigator
The Projects pane, at the left of the screen, shows the Java Source Packages and
Libraries that make up your (game) project. The next pane over is the Files pane,
which has the project folder and file hierarchy on your hard disk drive. The Services
pane contains the databases, servers, repositories, and build hosts, if they are used in
the project (these are primarily server-side technologies, and technologies used with a
development team, so I am not going to go into these in detail).
The Projects pane should always be left open (as you will see in Figures 2-7
through 2-21 ) . The Projects pane provides you with a primary access point for all the
project source code and assets (content) in your Java 8 game project. The Files pane
shows not only the project folder and file hierarchy, but also the data and FXML
markup (JavaFX) or Java 8 code hierarchy inside each file.
The Navigator pane (bottom) shows the relationships that exist inside your Java
code structures. In this case, these are the InvinciBagel class, the .start()
method, and the .main() method (for further information, see Chapter 3 ) .
