question on src folder in linux [message #506726]

Hey guys,
I had a search for this but didn't seem to bring anything up except for people talking about open source projects which doesn't particularly relate. So I'm guessing this is something I'm doing wrong Embarrassed

When I create a new project under windows 7/vista it automatically creates "src" and "bin" folders in the project directory. then I just create a new package and away I go.

However under linux (specifically Mint 7) I do not get this, there's no src folder under the package view and also no src or bin folders in project directory in my home folder.
Test.java and Test.class are just sitting in the same folder.

Does this matter ? or
Is there settings to change this?

classpath is as follows:

<classpath>
   <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/>
   <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
   <classpathentry kind="output" path=""/>
</classpath>

I found the settings for this under windows -> preferences -> java -> buldpath.

seems windows has it on by default ?

I'm fairly new to java so the question still stands: Does this matter ?
Or does the src / bin make it easier latter on when building jars to have them seperate.

It's the same on all Platforms but stored in your workspace. You
probably changed it sometime ago or use an old workspace.
