Prepare directory structure for maven by changing the default src
Probably you are using maven and wanted to change the directory structure.
Since maven recommends the standard src/main/java src/main/resource you might want to change it that way
Here is how to do it in eclipse.
First create the folder structure on the project in which ever way you would want to do it. I would use simple command like mkdir folderName
to create it.
1. right click on the project, and hit refresh, make sure the folders you created are listed there.
2. Right click on the project, select properties and select java build path
3. Go to source tab
4. select and remove the current source folder, by default it would be src folder
5. Hit the Add newthen select your folder structure there.

maven directory structure
This would change the original structure of the your java project from src to the one maven compatible.

It sound like we just need to add a new source folder.
In eclipse, right-click the project, then select “Build Path…”. Click “New Source Folder…” and then enter the name you want. “src/main/java” is what is typically used on maven projects. Click “Finish” and it will add the named source folder. Click “Next” if you want to specify inclusion/exclusion patterns.
Then just move your classes from your original folder to the new folder and thats it. Hopefully you dont have too much to move around.
I had built a helper utility, when I realized I should have made it a maven project. So I had to take care of this after I transitioned the project to be a maven project. But it still had the source in the original “src” folder.
