      <description>
         Before creating a class, we need a project to put it in. In the main toolbar, click on the <b>New Java Project</b> button, or click on the link below. Enter <b>HelloWorld</b> for the project name, then	click <b>Finish</b>.
      </description>
      <command serialization="org.eclipse.ui.newWizard(newWizardId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards.JavaProjectWizard)" required="false" translate="">

   </item>
   <item title="Create your HelloWorld class" dialog="true" skip="false" href="/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/gettingStarted/qs-9.htm">
      <description>
         The next step is to create a new class. In the main toolbar again, click on the <b>New Java Class</b> button (or the link below). If not already specified, select <b>HelloWorld/src</b> as the source folder. Enter <b>HelloWorld</b> for the class name, select the checkbox to create the <b>main()</b> method, then click <b>Finish</b>.<br/>
<br/>
The Java editor will automatically open showing your new class.

   <item title="Add a print statement" dialog="false" skip="false" href="/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/concepts/concept-java-editor.htm">
      <description>
         Now that you have your HelloWorld class, in the <b>main()</b> method, add the following statement:<br/>
<br/>
System.out.println(&quot;Hello world!&quot;);<br/>
<br/>
Then <b>save</b> your changes; the class will automatically compile upon saving.

   <item title="Run your Java application" dialog="false" skip="false" href="/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/gettingStarted/qs-12.htm">
      <description>
         To <b>run</b> your application, right-click on your class in the Package Explorer and select <b>Run As</b> &gt; <b>Java Application</b>. The <b>Console</b> view should appear at the bottom and display the &quot;Hello, world!&quot; output.<br/>
<br/>
Congratulations! You have successfully created a Hello World
application!
