					The

					wizard is improved to suggest better default values, based on the
					current selection in the
					<i>Project Explorer</i>
					.
				</p>
				<p>
					For example, if you right click on an existing JSP file and call
					the
					<i>New > Servlet</i>
					action...

				<img src="javaee/ServletFromJspMenu.png" alt="New Servlet from JSP action menu" />
				<p>
					... then the first page of the
					<i>Create Servlet</i>
					wizard suggests to create a new Servlet definition from the
					selected
					JSP page. This way users are able to complete to operation
					with just
					a single click on the
					<i>Finish</i>
					button and avoid configuring these
					options by themselves.

					The

					For example, if you right click on an existing Servlet node and

					the
					<i>New > Filter</i>
					action...
				</p>
				<img src="javaee/FilterFromServletMenu.png" alt="New Filter from Servlet action menu" />
				<p>
					... then the first page of the
					<i>Create Filter</i>
					wizard suggests to create a new Filter class that maps to the
					selected Servlet. This way users are able to complete to operation
					with just
					a single click on the
					<i>Finish</i>
					button and avoid configuring these
					options by themselves.
