I am using Spring Source IDE, which has eclipse inbuilt in it.
I have some questions about Package and Folder for a project
1) When I create new Java Project, src folder gets created with it. So does al code go under this src folder only ?
2) I am getting an option to create a different src folder, when I create project. Is this folder same as default "src" folder ?
3) After creating a project "Src_Tst", if I create new folder under "Src_Tst" (by right clicking on project name), it does not look same as src folder created when project is created. So whats the difference between src folder created at the time of project creation and one created later on ?
4) whats difference between package and folder under a project ? When I create package by right clicking on project name, package is created under src folder only. So does it mean that I can nit create package under project ? Does it have to go under src folder only ?
5) When I import some code from SVN repository, how do I modify this code ? Do I create new project and put code files under src folder OR do I put code files directly under project "Src_tst" by deleting src folder and then modify files ?
6) If I put files directly under project name and delete src folder (which is created by default), will files compile by itself ?
Please answer all questions as these are creating issues in understanding.
Thanks

Things like *.java and perhaps *.properties or other resources generally
go there.

You can have multiple src folders or just one.

You can use File -> New->Source Folder to create a folder that's
automatically configured as a folder containing src. You can also
configure source folder using the project's Properties and the Java
Build Path wizard.

A package is a folder in folder that's known to be a Java source folder.

Only in source folders.

If you want JDT to know the folder contains Java source, it must be in a
source folder.

You can configure where to look for source using the Properties of the
project as I mentioned above.

You'll have to configure the Project to know you've done that.

Did you look at any of the documentation.

Are things like Package, Class, Interface and so on, i.e., options to
create Java elements, in the list?

No.

Whether it's configured as a source folder in the build path.

Only when you use new Source Folder.

A folder for containing Java sources.

Yes creating a new Source Folder does that automatically. Creating just
a Folder does not.

Java looks there for source files and they'll be incrementally compiled
automatically.

thanks for replies. I am getting what you are saying now. Still I need clarity on following
Quote:Are things like Package, Class, Interface and so on, i.e., options to
create Java elements, in the list? Yes, that's what I meant.
If a folder created with "File -> New" can not be used for keeping source code in there, then what can it be used for ?
Thanks
