# SwingExplorer plugin for Intellij IDEA.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/wglanzer/swingexplorer-idea.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/wglanzer/swingexplorer-idea)

SwingExplorer is a tool for Java Swing application debugging.

This plugin integrates it into IntelliJ IDEA, to use it without external console

The plug-in was original contributed by Piotr Mlocek.

Modified by Werner Glanzer (See on GitHub).

# How to use this plugin?

If you install this plugin you see a small blue arrow icon in your toolbar.

![](Toolbar.png)

It gets enabled, if a java run configuration was selected.  

Click on it, and it will start your program, combined with the SwingExplorer.  

The SwingExplorer will show up in a new window and looks like this:

![](Screenshot.png)

On the left side you get a complete overview of your swing component tree. Doubleclick on any item to "select" it and display it inside the main window. In the main part you then get a browseable

overview of your component - just try hovering over a component there!

On the lower side there are different properties, the addition stacktrace, and much more.
