Jetfire Dashboard
When writing code, the Jetfire designer is interested in Namespaces and classes – pre-existing classes and the current class being written. Figure 1: Jetfire Dashboard shows the dashboard with Namespaces and classes (left column), Workspaces and workflows (middle column) and code edit window (right column).

Namespaces and Workspaces represent containers for classes and objects respectively in Jetfire. The Namespace window shows a DVD class with a set of static and instance members (properties and methods) for the class. Members include those that are defined directly in the DVD class, such as Borrow and Return, which appears in the member list of DVD in the Namespace window and in the DVD class code in the Code Edit window. Other members are defined in the base workflow class. DVD inherits these members.
Figure 2: Namespaces and Workspaces shows the relationships between members in the Namespace window and the Workspace window for DVD. Some notes:
- Statics are only shown in the class in the Namespace window.
- Instance Properties and Methods are shown in classes and objects.
- Public/private access modifier is shown in the object.
- Constructors are shown in the object.
- State Methods are only shown in the object.

The Code editor, shown in Figure 3: Code Editor, shows the code in colour. This helps identify keywords, variables, comments, strings and class names.
