All Java Development in the IDE takes place within Projects, we first need to create a new project within which to store sources and other project files. An IDE project is a group of JAVA Source files plus its associated metadata (data about data), including project–specific properties files, and many other related files. A Java Application may consist of one or more IDE Projects.
