| Creating a Java project as its own source container |
| </h1> |
| For simple projects, the project itself acts as the source container. |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| From the main workbench window, click <strong>File</strong> > <strong>New</strong> > <strong>Project</strong>. The New Project wizard opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>Java</strong> from the left pane and <strong>Java Project</strong> from the right pane, then click <strong>Next</strong>. The New Java Project wizard opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong><strong>Project Name</strong></strong> field, type a name for your new Java project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select or clear the <strong>Use default</strong> check box to indicate whether you want to use the default location for your new project. If you clear this check |
| box, then type or click <strong>Browse</strong> to select a location for the project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Next</strong>. The Java Settings Page opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Source</strong> tab, check that the project is the only source folder and the default output folder. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Optionally, on the <strong>Projects</strong> tab, select the required projects to be on the build path for this project. Use these options only if your project depends on |
| other projects. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Optionally, on the <strong>Libraries</strong> tab, select JAR files and CLASS folders to add to the build path for this new project and attach source to the JAR |
| files. Use these options only if your project requires additional libraries. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Order and Export</strong> tab, use the <strong><strong>Up</strong></strong> and <strong><strong>Down</strong></strong> buttons to move the |
| selected JAR file or CLASS folders up or down in the build path order for this new project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong><strong>Finish</strong></strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
