Java Editor

This topic provides an overview of the Java Editor features.

Oracle® Database Navigator plug-in supports editing a source code written in Java programming language. The Java editor offers basic editing features that lets you add, select, move, copy, edit, fold, and save the Java code. For more information on the offered editing capabilities, see Code Editor Features.

For example, to access the Java editor, open a Java class from the DB Browser window. The file opens in the active code editor tab with the name of the Java class.

The Java editor toolbar allows you to perform the following operations when you make changes to a Java program:
