## Paste Java code from clipboard into a new file

* The idea of this feature is taken from Eclipse IDE and IntelliJ Idea, but now it is also available for NetBeans IDE

* **Variant 1:** Select a "Source" or "Test Sources" node and paste Java code (incl. package declaration) via `Menu|Edit|Paste to new file` and a Java file is created in the package defined by the pasted source code.

* **Variant 2:** Select a package node below the "Source" or "Test Sources" node and paste Java code (incl. package declaration) via `Menu|Edit|Paste to new file` and a Java file is created in the selected package. The package declaration in the file is updated automatically.
