Research direction

Start with the “Java: New Java Class” command and the other creation commands named in the issue. Trace how the prompt currently chooses the destination, then determine how an existing folder or package and a newly entered location should be selected. Done means users can choose an existing location or create a new folder/package before the item is created.
