   ### Description
   
   From Cay Horstmanns talk I got the idea to add a compact java template file,
   so that in an onramp for students you can do 
   
   new file > compact-java-file.
   
   This would then create a file along the line of
   
   ```java
   void main(){
       IO.print("Hello world");
   }
   ```
   
   Having such a file will allow you to run it from the current version (27) of 
NetBeans IDE and would
   nicely line up with the onramping effort in Java and keep the big 🐍 away.
   
   See [Cay Horstmanns talk at JavaOne 
2205](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wFgshWMdA)
   
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   There are several effort to make the on-ramping of Java easier.
   In the language itself, with compact java files, the new IO package,  with 
short methods for printing etc.
   
   Having this in the IDE as well would be a nice thing.
   
   ### Related issues
   
   Compact files work well in Java 27, in particular for starting student 
projects.
