- Click “Finish” to create the project.
-
Create a Package:
- Right-click on the “src” folder inside your project.
- Select “New” > “Package”.
- Enter a name for your package and click “Finish”.
-
Create a Java Class:
- Right-click on the package you created.
- Select “New” > “Class”.
- Enter a name for your Java class and make sure to check the box that says “public static void main(String[] args)” to create a main method.
- Click “Finish”.
-
Write Your Java Code:
- Eclipse will open the newly created Java class file in the editor.
- Write your Java code inside the main method or any other methods you create.
-
Run Your Java Program:
