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

Me too ;-)
What I recommend is to replace the Projects view with the Package
Explorer and save the perspective again. There's a filter in the Package
Explorer that allows you to filter the Java files (if you don't want to
see them).
