New Java Class wizard does not allow creation of class named package-info.java which is used to store package level annotations. As a result it is very hard to create such a file within the IDE. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javadoc/whatsnew-1.5.0.html " package-info.java: You can now create a source file with this name to store package comments and annotations. It can be used in place of package.html (which supports only comments, not annotations). If package-info.java is present, javadoc should ignore package.html and look instead for the package doc comment immediately preceding the (possibly annotated) package declaration. The javadoc tool handles the selection and parsing of package- info.java and package.html and passes the doc comments to the doclet. "
Use the template Java Classes/Java Package Info instead.
Interesting. The use of Java Classes/Java Package Info template may be hard to discover for users. The online help did not mention anything about it.
