| Click Next |
| |
| <p>5. Choose and specify your own parent directory |
| for projects and your own clone name. The |
| parent directory is where your NetBeans projects |
| live. The clone directory will be a subdirectory |
| devoted to this project.<br> |

| Click Next |
| |
| <p>12.Add class output directory (which doesn't |
| exist yet because we haven't compiled yet). |
| Also add javadoc directory (which also doesn't exist yet).<br> |

| Click Finish |
| |
| <p>14. Click "Run > Test Project (plexi)" to confirm |
| everything compiles and all tests are passing.<br> |
