Creating a New File

  1. Choose File New from the main window.

    The New wizard appears and enables you to choose from templates in several categories.

  2. Expand a category and select one of the templates.
  3. Enter a name for the file and select a package from the Package combo box.
  4. Click Finish.

The file appears in the Source Editor. If you create a form from template, the Form Editor opens.

If the Next button is activated in the wizard, you can click it to access further options. For example, when you use the Class template, the wizard has pages for customizing superclass and interface information, overriding inherited methods, and adding fields.

You can also create a new file by right-clicking a package node in the Explorer or Object Browser, choosing New, and navigating through the submenus to pick the type of file.
