Overview Contents Players Layers Examples Configuration InFAQ Changes Licence Back to Goodies | # The Status Monitor's Classes Page The Classes Page is a plug-in page for the Status Monitor. It displays all the classes and types that JNIPort currently knows about. It is essentially a tree view of the contents of the class registry. The tree view should be pretty self-explanatory. When a class is selected the right hand panel will display any wrapper methods that JNIPort has generated automatically for that class. It also displays the inheritance structure of the Java class itself, the Smalltalk class that is used to wrap references to instances of that class, and the Smalltalk class of its class static. This page adds a 'Class' menu to the main menu (it is identical to the context menu in the tree view). Some of the options are discussed below. 'Class⇒Find Java class...' and 'Class⇒Find/Load Java class...' both allow you to search for a named class in the class tree. The difference is that one of them is restricted to searching through the already-loaded classes (but it is case-insensitive and allows wildcards, like the class search in Dolphin's CHB); the other will load a Java class if it is not already loaded, but that means that the name has to be specified completely and accurately. 'Class⇒Browse JavaDoc...' will attempt to find and open a web browser on the JavaDoc documentation for the selected class. That uses a search path to find the JavaDoc files. The path has a global components, which can be set with the 'Tools⇒Options⇒Global JavaDoc path...' menu option; it should be set to a ;-separated list of folder names, where the folders are the roots of JavaDoc file hierarchies (for instance, if you have installed the JDK's Java documentation in `C:\j2sdk1.4.1\docs`, say, then the root folder will be `C:\j2sdk1.4.1\docs\api`. There is also a JVM-specific portion of the path which is one of the JVM configuration settings (under `#statusMonitorSettings`). By default, both of the paths are empty. 'Class⇒Generate instance-side wrappers...' and 'Class⇒Generate class-side wrappers...' launch the Wrapper Wizard to help generate wrapper methods for the selected Java class.
