render function doesn't exist in play framework 2.0.2?

I downloaded and installed play framework 2.0.2 and then created a project. I eclipsified the project and opened it in eclipse.

I have a class called Application which extends Controller class. In most examples around the web, I see controllers like the following.

public class Application extends Controller {
    public static void index() {
        render(arg0,arg1,...);
    }

    public static void tasks() {
         render(arg0,arg1,...);
    }

    public static void newTask() {
         render(arg0,arg1,...);
    }

    public static void deleteTask(Long id) {
        render(arg0,arg1,...);
    }
}

However in my default application, I can only do the following. I don't know how to do the previous one.

public class Application extends Controller {
    public static Result index() {
        return ok("Hello World!");
    }

    public static Result tasks() {
         return ok(indexabc.render("hello world"));
    }

    public static Result newTask() {
         return TODO;
    }

    public static Result deleteTask(Long id) {
        return TODO;
    }
}

In my code when I try to replace "Result" return type with "void", there is no problem. However, when I want to call "render()" method with some parameters, that method doesn't exist. I can't find a way for how to call render function.

The examples you are seeing around the Web are for Play 1.x, and the version you have got in your Controller is for Play 2.x.

Play 1 used render(), play 2 returns a Result object, which is created from calling the ok() method or a number of other methods.

You have 2 options at this point. Download Play 1.2.5 (current stable release) and use the examples you have found, or use the Play 2.x documentation and search for Play 2.x examples.
