This chapter describes how to find components in a library and load them into your image. It does not describe how to load another edition of a component that is already in your image. For information on loading another edition of an already loaded component, see Loading other editions of components already loaded.

The types of components that you can load include editions or versions of the following:

As for classes and methods, you load ones that have either been deleted from a containing application or class or that are part of another edition of the containing application or class. For example, when a method is deleted from a class, it is not physically deleted from the library. The class that defined the deleted method keeps a reference to it so you can later find and reload it.

For more information, see Unloading components from your image and Deleting components.
