Multiple Source Folders in a Project [message #719423]

Hi,

I have a project that contains multiple source folders.

I would like to have an output/class folder that corresponds to each source folder.

Example
src/Folder 1
src/Folder 2
src/Folder 3
classes/Folder 1
classes/Folder 2
classes/Folder 3

I have tried right-clicking on each source folder and selecting Build Path >> Configure Build Path ... and changing the Default output folder for each source folder, but it puts all classes from all folders in a single class folder like
src/Folder 1
src/Folder 2
src/Folder 3
classes/Folder 1

so output form all source folders go to the single classes/Folder 1.

I tried changing src/Folder 2 to output to classes/Folder 2 but again it put all classes from all folders into classes/Folder 2.
src/Folder 1
src/Folder 2
src/Folder 3
classes/Folder 2

Any suggestions on how I can get the output classes folders to match up to the source folders?

Thanks,

lou

Do you have Build Automatically turned on? If not, you will need to
perform a build to recreate the class files.

Have you performed a Clean? The old classes may not be cleaned out when
you change the output folder. A clean might be necessary to get rid of
them (Just a complete guess)

Do you have any build path errors? Build path errors will prevent a
build from completing.
