New Java Package Wizard

The Opens the New Java Package wizard New Java Package wizard helps you create a folder corresponding to a new Java package and optionally a package level documentation file. It can also be used to add package level documentation to an existing package.

The corresponding folder of the default package always exists, and therefore doesn't have to be created.
