Note: The best examples are in the Unit Tests – just look in the folder /watij_X_x.x/src/java-test/watij

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import static watij.finders.SymbolFactory.*;
 
public class GoogleTest extends TestCase {
    public void testGoogleSearch() throws Exception{
        IE ie = new IE();
        ie.start("http://www.google.com");
        ie.textField(name,"q").set("Watij");
        ie.button("Google Search").click();
        assertTrue(ie.containsText("/Web Application Testing in Java/"));
    }
}
