Introducing the Openwings Explorer

Openwings has a graphical tool called Openwings Explorer. To use it, simply execute owexplorer.bat or owexplorer.csh in your Openwings bin directory (${OW_HOME}/openwings-${VERSION}/bin/). A window similar to the one shown below will appear.

In release 1.1, an instance of the explorer will launch automatically when the Openwings core is started.

There are a few menus at the top of the window.

  • File - opens a new tree view and quits the program
  • Options - allows you to configure the application to suit your preferences
  • Utilities - for multi-platform installs and for setting the level of log output for the tool
  • Window - allows you to manipulate open and minimized windows
  • Help - shows the Openwings release you are using, and includes a link to this tutorial
