Please check the project template comments for more information.

Refreshing

The Bean Browser does NOT automatically update its content. You need to press the "Refresh"-icon in order to reload the classes after having done changes to the source code within your development environment.

Navigation - Creating new Java classes

Dependent from the data behind one class (indicated by the background color of the node as well) you can right-click a class and select one of the navigation possibilities that are presented in the corresponding popup menu.

If right-clicking onto one of the root nodes then can select a function to create a new Java class.
