If you mean for coding, just right-click on the folder in the Package
Explorer View, then Build Path -> Use as Source Folder.
If you mean how to do it using the JDT APIs, then you need to update
your IJavaProject's raw classpath.
// get your IProject
IProject project = getProject();
// create the corresponding IJavaProject
IJavaProject ijp = JavaCore.create(project);
// get the folder
IFolder folder = project.getFolder("nameOfNewSrcFolder");
// create a new source entry for it
IClasspathEntry entry = JavaCore.newSourceEntry(folder.getFullPath());
// retrieve the project's current classpath
IClasspathEntry[] entries = ijp.getRawClasspath();
// create a new array with the original entries and the new source entry
IClasspathEntry[] newEntries = new IClasspathEntry[entries.length + 1];
System.arraycopy(entries, 0, newEntries, 0, entries.length);
newEntries[newEntries.length - 1] = entry;
ijp.setRawClasspath(newEntries, new NullProgressMonitor());
That should be the general gist of it.

Rem

Thanks Rem!
I meant for coding and sorry for not specifying that in the first post. I
use Java Browsing perspective for coding and Resource perspective for
dealing with the other folders so didn't find any options when I right
clicked on the folder which I wanted to change to a source folder.
Just got addicted to Java Browsing perspective and unable to come out of
it :D
Thank you very much,
Srikanth

I, too, prefer Java Browsing perspective. However, there are several
ways you can accomplish this from that perspective:
a) you can use Window > Show View... to open the Package Explorer and
make it a Fast View that is minimized when not in use.
b) You can right-click the project name and choose Properties. On the
Build Path section of the Properties you can select additional source
directories.
Hope this helps,
Eric
