Reference

The Edit Tab is where you will spend most of your time when writing your Java programs. It has a simple programming editor that shows the source code of the currently selected Java class.

The source code is automatically color-coded to indicate certain words are special in the Java language.

Keywords - Green or Magenta
Doc comments - Red
Line comments - Blue
Literals (e.g., true/false) - Purple

In the bottom right of the Edit Tab is the line number box. This text field displays the line number of the insertion point or the start of the selection. By clicking in the line number box, typing a number and hitting Return, the specified line may be selected.
