Serialized Prototype Node

See Also 

The Filesystems window displays all serialized prototypes of Java beans as serialized prototype nodes (Serialized prototype node icon). Each serialized prototype node expands to reveal subnodes for each of its classes (Class node icon) and interfaces (Interface icon node).

Icons That Indicate Node States

The IDE affixes badge icons to Filesystems window icons to indicate a particular state of the object. The following table lists the badge icons used by the IDE.

Icon Description
Needs compilation badge The file needs to be compiled. It has not been compiled or the source has changed since the last compilation.
Runnable object badge The file is a runnable object.
File cannot be parsed badge The file cannot be parsed. The file might contain an unrecoverable syntactic error or there might have been a problem reading the file.
