HOW TO UPLOAD JAVA FILES IN NETBEANS

Maybe this is a very dumb question but my teacher sends us files with .java extension, which I can read with wordpad.

I need a way to upload it to Netbeans quickly. What I did is:
a) New Project - Created new project with the package name written in java file.
b) New File - Java Class: Create different classes for each class created in java file, incluiding main file.
c) Copying in each class (copy-paste) the code written for each class.

This was annoying and susceptible to mistakes, so if there is a better way to upload java files to netbeans (from a .java file) please tell me.

I can't remember how Netbeans keeps track of which files are part of the project.

Something you could try is to directly copy the files into your project folder. This works for most Java IDE's. Note that you may need to setup the folder structure to match the package structure.
