<h1>
Creating a new source folder
</h1>You can create a new folder to contain Java source code using the New Source Folder wizard.<ol>
<li>
In the Package Explorer, select the project where you want the new source folder to reside.
</li>
<li>
From the project's pop-up menu, select <strong>New</strong> &gt; <strong>Source Folder</strong>. The New Source Folder wizard opens.
</li>
<li>
In the&nbsp;<strong>Project Name</strong> field, the name of the selected project appears. If you need to edit this field, you can either type a path or
click&nbsp;<strong>Browse</strong> to choose a project that uses source folders.
</li>
<li>
In the&nbsp;<strong>Folder Name</strong> field, type a name for the new source folder.
</li>
<li>If the new folder nests with an existing source folder you can check <strong>Update
exclusion filters in other source folders to solve nesting</strong>. Otherwise you have to use the
<a href="../reference/ref-123.htm">Java Build Path</a> page <strong>(Project
&gt; Properties &gt; Java Build Path)</strong> to fix the nesting conflict by removing other source folders.</li>
<li>
Click&nbsp;<strong>Finish</strong> when you are done.
</li>
</ol>
