 Description  « Hide
Currently, the only way (I can tell) to create a new file is to right click on the package you want to put it in. I would like to see another way to create a java class which does not first require you to navigate to the package you want, but would let you choose the package as part of a dialog. Maybe the option could be available from a right-click context menu from within a file.

This is most bothersome when I find a class I want to create a test for, I have to navigate all the way to the test package in order to create the Test Class. I feel like there could be some help from the IDE which would make this a lot easier.

Thanks

Specifically for creating tests, there's a new intention in Diana which provides dedicated UI for this feature and lets you choose the destination in a nice and friendly way. Also, in the new class dialog you can enter a qualified name, in order to create the class in the specified package. Another option is to create a class from usage, which also lets you choose the target package.

Thus, adding one more class creation dialog seems to be quite redundant.
