If you are saving the document for the first time, the current file name is new.java , EJE™ tries to find a suitable filename for it. EJE™ analyses the content of the current editor and looks for a public class containg a main- method. If there is no suitable classname EJE™ will complain about this. In each case a dialog will be opened where you can choose the location and filename you want use.
