NetBeans Runtime Inspector Demo

Here is an example of what you can do with the inspector:

  1. Go to Runtime | NetBeans Runtime. Maximize the window to make sure there is enough room to see many nodes. Open a Property Sheet if there is not yet one open.
  2. Lookup results -> org.openide.windows.WindowManager.
  3. org.netbeans.core.windows.WindowManagerImpl -> Properties.
  4. mainWindow -> Components.
  5. (only child) -> Components.
  6. null.layeredPane -> Components.
  7. (MenuBar) -> Components.
  8. First child: property text in Property Sheet should read File.
  9. Change property to Phile. IDE menu bar should change.

Remember to look at tool tips on the nodes, and have fun browsing the IDE!
