Overview

The Compile Order View presents all the compiled files in your project.

Accessing the Compile Order View

It is located to the right side of the editor. If the view is not visible, open it from Window > Show View > Compile Order. The files are sorted in compilation order as it results from the project's build file. Note that each file has a compilation index. If a file includes others, the included files appear as children of the including file.

Navigating and Opening Files

Type a few letters in the quick search box to locate a specific file. Double-click on a file to open it. You can also use the up and down arrows to move between files and press Enter to open. You can focus on files with errors by clicking the Show Only Files with Errors button. For an included file, right-click and select Go to Include to jump to the include location.

Using the Quick Compile Order View

While editing, especially when working with the editor maximized, it is more convenient to use the Quick Compile Order View. Simply press Ctrl-I, search, use the up and down arrows to select a file, and Enter. This is a very efficient alternative to using the Project Explorer View for opening files.
