Suzy: I'm usually referring to the key two to the right of the space just as Jim H. indicated. A tricky thing I seen with Eclipse is that if you expand the project with the right arrow key only once and then try to right click, the correct menu doesn't always appear. Sometimes you need to keep expanding the tree view to at least hear "SRC" then left arrows to the open project item before the correct menu appears. Weird or What.... Jim James M.

That works all of the time, well most of the time. You could also mean to hit Shift + F10, assuming that whoever wrote the application hooked it up. The same goes for the Application key, which is two keys to the right of your Space key. And there are no dumb questions.

Now, don't just fall over laughing, but when you say right click, do you mean route the PC cursor to JAWS and hit the right button which on my keyboard is just to the left of the JAWS cursor button.

The projects are called "implementation". I suppose it's the way you use the term workspace. In your case it seems that all projects are under "Suzy" but with mine they have their own space. So if you are using "Suzy" as the workspace, I would right click it and add a new project. Then right click the "SRC" folder that will be created under the new project and add a package. Then right click the package and add your class or property file. Note if you want to have a sub package you will need to do the following. First create the package as indicated above and title it for example main. Then right click again and name a new package main.sub_package for example. It will appear directly under main but from the OS standpoint it is a sub folder of main. Jim James M. Corbett Programmer / Analyst | Canada Revenue Agency | Agence du revenue du Canada 875 Heron Rd.

When I was in my Java class the teacher installed Eclipse and made me a work space called Susie which I get into each time. Was that incorrect?

This is where the concept of "Workspace" gets muddled. In an Enterprise or J2E project you may by default have to projects under the same Workspace because you will most likely have an .ear or .war file as the end result but in a plain old Java project it's better if you have one project per Workspace.For example: C:\projects\SLFI2010\implementation\src C:\projects\SLFI2011\implementation\src This way you can keep them sepearate and cause yourself less confusion.

You have to open the one you want to open if you want to use a different one. I think that you can tell it to forget what you were in last time you used it so that you are forced to open the one you want when you start it up. I'd have to check.

I. First create Project, whether that be a standard Java or not that's for you to decide however for my example Java by default. II. Once this task is completed, I usually will open the Project Explorer, expand the project, expand or at least open the SRC folder. III. Next I will create a package.... IV. I then locate said package and then create a class or create a sub package. Jim James M. Corbett Programmer / Analyst | Canada Revenue Agency | Agence du revenue du Canada 875 Heron Rd. Ottawa, On.

How about the package? Do I enter alt f and open each separate thing? It seems to me this should be smart enough to know if you are creating something new you obviously want to be in it (grin).

This morning I again launched Eclipse. I hit alt f and new. I created a project. Again hit alt f and new creating a package. Then I did the same thing again and created a class. Well, I don't know where the project and package are, but it put my class in the space under the project and package from the last time. What have I done wrong?
