Adding a New File to a Project

You can create new packages and files from the Project in the Explorer. When the file is created, it is visible on both the Filesystems and Project tabs.

To create a new file in a project:

  1. Click the Project tab in the Explorer, right-click on the root Project node, and choose Add New from the contextual menu.
  2. Step through the New wizard to create the object.

    If you want to create a new package as well, designate the package in the first page of the wizard.

    The node that you select appears on the Project tab as a link. If you delete this node, the nodes disappear from the Project tab, but the files are still accessible on the Filesystems tab.

Tip You can configure the IDE to automatically add all new files to your project. Choose Tools and choose Options, Expand the IDE Configuration node, and expand the Look and Feel node. Then select the Project Options node. Change the value of the Add to Project property to Always.
