Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is used to search for classes and elements.
Enter a search term in the center and hit return or click on the search
button.
Search terms can be entered in the following way. All searches are
case-insensitive, except as stated below.
- class name (without package name), e.g. file, component, jbutton.
- abbreviation of class name (just uppercase letters, e.g. sb for
StringBuffer, jb for jbutton, fis for FileInputStream. Note that only the first letter of a capitalized
abbreviation is used. Thus hek for HTMLEditorKit, not htmlek).
- first few letters of a class name (at least 3) e.g. com for component, jbu
for JButton.
- <>element name preceded by '.', .substring for
java.lang.String.substring(). Search terms for methods or constructors don't need to end with parentheses.
- keyword preceded by '-', e.g. -audio (the current version only supports exact matches (case-insensitive)).
- package and class name. E.g. java.lang.String. This search is case sensitive!
- ? question mark: Opens the help page.
