From the home page, select, Create a Java Project

Step 2

We can call this project helloWorld in the specified field. Leave all other attributes to their default settings, you can learn more about these later on. Use the default name for the module name once you select Next. Once you select create, the application will populate

Step 3

Now we have create a module for our project but we have to create a class to hold our main method before we can write our first program. Select create new class, then type HelloWorld as the class name and select the public static void main(String[] args) check box so that the main method will automatically be created.
