## Java settings page

You can skip this page by pressing Finish on the first page. Otherwise press Next to configure the Java Build Path.
If the project location on the first page has been set to an existing directory, you will be prompted if the New Java Project wizard should try to detect existing classpath settings. To do this the project will be created early on the invocation of the Next button, and the Back will be disabled on the Java Settings page.
