Use the Class Browser to add a class to or maintain classes and their associated methods, properties, and constants, the Primitive Types Browser to add or maintain primitive type methods and constants, or the Interface Browser to add or maintain interface methods and constants. (For details about interfaces, see "Adding and Maintaining Interfaces", in Chapter 14.)
The Class Browser, Primitive Types Browser, and Interface Browser are displayed in the form specified by your Browser options.

You can have any number of Class Browsers, Primitive Types Browsers, and Interface Browsers open concurrently for each schema, if required. This enables you to easily view components of other schemas and to work concurrently in two or more schemas in the same JADE database. For example, you can browse the classes, properties, or methods in an existing schema while you define a new schema. (Use the Schema menu Close Windows for Schema command to close all open windows for the schema of the window that currently has focus.)
