How to Start a New BlueJ Class If you have a project open, then you can select the New Class button to bring up the dialog shown on the left. At the moment we are just interested in a simple event applet so select that. Don't forget to type a name, by convention a Class always starts with a Capital letter and internal words are also capitalized - eg HelloWorld. You cannot have any spaces in the Class name. If you don't see SimpleEventApplet or IBIO Class then you have not added the templates as described in getting started with BlueJ. If you are using another IDE then just start a new Class following the method described in the supplied documentation. If you are using a simple editor like Notepad, be sure to name the Class exactly as you save the file; eg Class PressMe must be saved in file PressMe.java.
