It would be nice if the "New Java Class" wizard allowed you to specify a base class. The generated class would extend the base class, would have constructors matching the parent class' constructors (with appropriate calls to "super()"), and would have stubs for all abstract methods the class should implement. UI would be a simple text box where the user would enter the base class name. Should be some form of resolution for imprecise name resolution, like is done when a user enters "Date x = new Date();": a dialog listing possible candidates is shown, and the user can pick one or cancel.

From issue 89194 Basically here i am trying to compare eclpise vs netbeans. When we try to create a new class, eclipse shows a lot(here read it as complete) options required to create a new class. In netbeans we can only select package. No super class, no interfaces, no access specifiers etc. Please check up eclipse for this. I think the point i am trying to make is that purpose of IDE is to make productivity very high. IDE is meant for that.Otherwise i can use textpad to create a new class. You must provide the user will all productivity steps for features u support. Otherwise there is no use at all. Eclipse is very friendly in this case. Let me also go one step ahead on this. If Netbeans has some way for users to create their own templates, then i suggest you make the default template just like eclipse. Thanks Swaroop belur Until NetBeans 5.5, it was possible to change the superclass *after* new class creation by expanding the <newclass>.java node, right-clicking on <newclass.class> node, selecting properties and changing values for the properties for modifiers, extends etc. This feature is not present in NB6M9.

Basically duplicate of issue #113891. All these things you can simply do in the NetBeans editor. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 113891 ***
