Description kitfox 2005-07-27 01:35:25 UTC 
As far as I can tell, there is no way to create the package-info.java file that
is recommened for use in javadocs for Java 5.  The mechanism for creating new
classes prevents me from creating a class file with this name.

If you open the following page and search for 'package-info.java', it will
describe the recommended use of this file for providing information for package
in Java % javadoc.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html

Please let me know if there is a way and I've simply missed it.

Try New | File/Folder -> Other | Empty File
Comment 3 Milan Kubec 2005-08-08 15:40:01 UTC 
Since there is simple workaround (creating Empty File with the name) changing
this issue to ENHANCEMENT.

There should be template for this class with prefilled package name and some
mockup javadoc text.
