# New Java Application Wizard: Name and Location

Use to create a new standard Java SE project with a main class.

Element | Description
--- | ---
Project Name | Specifies the display name of the project. This name is also used to create the project folder.
Project Location | Specifies the folder where you want to store the project metadata and source code. When you create an empty Java project, you cannot store the project folder and the project source code in separate locations like you can with projects from existing source code.
Project Folder | Specifies the folder where you want to store the project metadata and source code. The folder is a concatenation of the project location and the project name.
Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries | When selected, you can specify a Libraries Folder where required compilation libraries are stored.
Libraries Folder | Specifies the location of the folder containing shared libraries. Click Browse to specify a location other than the default.
Create Main Class | Specifies the package and name of the main class. Enter the fully qualified name of the class without the `.java` extension (for example, `com.me.MyClass`).

When you click Finish, the project is created on your computer and opened in both the Projects window and the Files window.
