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. Then right-click the root Project node and choose Add New.
  2. Step through the New wizard to create the object.

    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. However, 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. Then expand the IDE Configuration node, and expand the Look and Feel node. Select the Project Options node and change the value of the Add to Project property to Always.
