    When working in .NET environment, I really can't imagine how blind I am if there is not so-called Object Browser or something similar, with it I can explore .NET world myself at least to get general understanding first before searching for more from the Internet. I think any huge libraries like .NET should have such a tool, but now when working with Netbean for java programming, I can't find such a helpful tool, I'm blinded to java APIs when working with Netbean. I have searched to know if such a tool does exists in Netbean and it seems that I have to install it separatedly from the full installation of Netbean that I've done before, why is Netbean not integrated with such a helpful tool? I currently don't know how to install that tool (where to download?) to use with Netbean, of course much search has been done without finding any useful links, could you help me out with this? I'm sure that I can't learn Java if lacking such a tool! Thank you!

      The thing about MFC; at the time I was using it, only 3 people in the company knew it - then ATL came out and that was whittled down to 1. Me. :-D

      It is dangerous to have only one person in a company know what he is doing.

        I don't know if I'm outing myself here but I never use it. I just use intellisense which Netbeans, Eclipse Xcode etc all have a version of. After that I head for the docs. A browser i should use more often is the class browsers.

              I know it's there, but I never use it. Instead I use a combination of Solution Explorer and Intellisense combined with the Recollection Explorer fitted as standard to Griff units.

                    It wasn't dangerous for me at all, especially when it came to pay reviews - and the good thing was that we had 3 monthly reviews. :-D I got a payrise each time.

                        Ctrl+Space is enough for me, considering NetBeans' javadoc is much more detailed than Intelisense.

I have searched to know if such a tool does exists in Netbean and it seems that I have to install it separatedly from the full installation of Netbean that I've done before, why is Netbean not integrated with such a helpful tool? I currently don't know how to install that tool (where to download?) to use with Netbean, of course much search has been done without finding any useful links, could you help me out with this? I'm sure that I can't learn Java if lacking such a tool! Thank you!

I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                                      Yes, I thought the paragraph was a bit long too.
