• Create a directory somewhere on your disk. I used
  center

  Code Block
  C:\{UserDocuments}\NetBeansProjects\DroidSources

  .

  Note
  title Be Careful
  The name of your directory will become the project name in the next step, so choose wisely! Since I've used the directory DroidSources my project will become DroidSources. Alternative step: You can create this directory later, during creation of the project in the next step. Its a little tidier to do it now, but its not important which way you do it. (See Alternative note lower down the page)

• In the NetBeans IDE, from the {{ File }} menu selct select New Project.
  In the Java} section of the first tab you see, you will find the {{Automatic Project type that we installed in the previous step.
  Highlight this option, and press Next

...

• The next page of the New Project wozard wizard asks you to specify a location for the new project. This is where you choose the directory we created earlier.
  NB This directory must be empty.

• Hit Finish to complete the wizard. Go make a coffee while NetBeans creates the project for you.
