17.10 Browse Window
This window acts as a file browser.

A combo box shows the current directory. You can type a new directory in directly and hit "Enter" to
change to that directory. The "Save Current Directory" item will store the current directory in the combo
list. "Clear" will clear the list.
Filters for the languages supported by jGRASP are provided, as well as the "all files" filter. Note that
language filters classify files based on the extension only if they have not been opened in jGRASP before.
Once a file is opened, jGRASP remembers that language. The default language for files with a ".h"
extension can be set to C++ or C only (not both) by changing the extension settings for C or C++ (see
settings).
You can also type a list of extensions into the filter pulldown and hit "Enter" to filter by extensions. These
must be separated by whitespace, and can start with ".", "*.", or nothing. For example: "*.c *.cpp", ".c
.cpp", and "c cpp" will all show only files that end in ".c" or ".cpp".
Clicking on a file will open it (in text mode).
Clicking on a project will attempt to open it. If it does not appear to be a jGRASP project, it will be opened
as a file.
A popup menu allows selected files to be opened (in text mode) or added to the current project with either
relative (to the project file location) or absolute paths.
17.11 Project Window
This window displays files in the currently open project. For now, only one project can be open at a time,
in the future this will probably change.
Clicking on a file will open it (in text mode).
A popup menu allows selected files to be opened or removed from the project.
17.12 Message Window
The message window contains tabbed pages for compiler messages, messages from jGRASP (CSD
generation, non critical errors and warnings), and an i/o window for the run function.
Color settings for these pages use CSD color settings. Some of these are specific to the message pages.
They can be set on the CSD Window settings CSD colors page.
Clicking on an error in the compile and jGRASP message pages will open the file referred to in the
message (if not already open) and select the line referred to in the message. If line numbers are frozen in
the CSD window, the frozen line number will be selected. The format for click-to-error in the compile
message page is determined by the compiler settings. The paths that will be searched if the line contains
a relative path name or Java class name are specified on the sources page of the CSD Window settings
(global and project only).
The compile and jGRASP message pages have a "Copy" button. This will copy the selected text, or all
text if the is no selection, to the clipboard.
The compile page has a "Stop" button that will kill the compile process. If this button is enabled it means a
compile process is active.
The run page provides i/o for the run function. A "Kill" button allows the running process to be killed. If this
button is enabled it means a "run" process is active.
All three pages have a "Clear" button that clears previous output.
