By clicking on the Finish button the wizard is started and the specified components are created.

Wizard Fields and Default Values

Most of the fields of the Figure 1 will be filled with default values depending on the current context of the IDE. The context can be derived from a package selected in the Package Explorer or from the class in the active Java Editor.

Source Folder: The source folder of the Maven shared module used for the creation of the lookup call class. The default value is the src/main/java folder in the Maven shared module.
Package: The Java package that will contain the lookup call class. The Scout SDK will try to guess the package name from the current context and derive a matching package names for the Maven server module.

Super Class: The super class for the form. LookupCall is the default value.
Key Class: The class to be used for key values of the lookup call.
