<p class="intro">
NetBeans IDE provides a variety of views
on your data, from multiple project
windows to file and hierarchy views,
letting you drill
down into your data quickly and easily.

<h2>Project Views</h2>
<p>The Projects window is the main entry
point to your project sources. It shows
a logical view of important project
content.</p>
<p>In addition to the Projects window, the IDE
provides the Files window, so that you can
see all the files that belong to a project,
and the Favorites window, where you can
add folders and files so that they
can be browsed within
the IDE.</p>

<h2>File Views</h2>
<p>
The Navigator window provides
a compact view of the currently
selected file and simplifies
navigation between different
parts of the file.
</p>
<p>For example, for Java files,
the Navigator window shows
a list of constructors,
methods, and fields, while
for HTML and CSS files it shows
the logical structure
of the selected document.

<h2>Hierarchy Views</h2>
<p>
The Hierarchy window displays the
Supertypes and Subtypes of the
currently selected Java file
or the currently selected Java
type under the cursor in the editor.</p>
<p>The Hierarchy window integrates with
the Navigator window and the Javadoc
window, so that you can easily see the elements
of the selected item, as well as its
javadoc.</p>
