A simple source structure
between tasks—you can only have one project active at a time, but when you
switch projects, it switches all the mounted filesystems and other settings that
you have configured.

Like other IDEs, NetBeans provides its own editing window. It's a GUI point-
and-click environment, with syntax highlighting and other helpful features for
a programmer.
At the top of the editing window is a toolbar (Figure 10.4). Each icon on
the toolbar has a tooltip, a help text that pops up when you rest your mouse
pointer over the icon, to explain the somewhat cryptic little icons. Most of the
tools are quite handy. With the pulldown menu, you can navigate to any
method or class variable within the class. The next four buttons deal with
searching: Select any text in your source file, click on the magnifying glass icon,
and the search will be performed for the next occurrence of that text. In addi-
tion, all occurrences are highlighted. This highlighting can be toggled on or off.
