If you have not made the visual editor for Java™ the default editor for .java files, you
can still open Java classes
in the visual editor.
About this task
To open an existing Java class
in the visual editor for Java:
Procedure
- In the Package Explorer view of the Java perspective, select the .java source file
for the class that you want to edit in the visual editor.
- Do one of the following steps:
- Right-click and select from the pop-up
menu. The workbench remembers your editor choice for this file until
you choose a different editor.
- Double-click the file. If the visual editor is the default
editor for .java files, or if you most recently opened the file with
the Java visual editor, the
file opens in the visual editor.
