Place a package in it called edu.csbsju.cs.YOURUSERNAME
Place a class in the package called SimplePrint
Check the box to create a stub for main method
Add an interface (e.g. ActionListener)
Check the box to Generate comments

Place all of your source files in a src folder inside your project folder
Create a bin folder
Create a new project
Type project name
