    <b>New Java Package</b></a> 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.</p>
    
    <p>The corresponding folder of the default package always exists, and therefore doesn't have to be
    created.</p>
