Enter a name for the application's class in this field. An example name is provided.

If you wish, you can enter in this field a package for the application class. A sample package name is provided.

In this field, type a location in which to save the application class for the new application. Alternatively, click the button next to the field. A standard window displays. Use the window controls to select a location.
