Directory

Java Conceptuel Diagram

bin: common binaries, scripts - put this on the path. build: This is the tree for building; Ant creates it and can empty it in the 'clean' project. dist: Distribution outputs go in here; the directory is created in Ant and clean empties it out doc: Hand crafted documentation lib: Imported Java libraries go in to this directory src: source goes in under this tree in a hierarchy which matches the package names. The dependency rules of requires this.The bin, lib, doc and src directories should be under source code control. An extra tree of content to be included in the distribution jars (inf files, images, etc.) can go under source too, with:
  • a metadata directory for web.xml and similar manifests,
  • and a web folder for web content - JSP, html, images and so on.
Keeping the content in this folder (or sub hierarchy) together makes it easier to test links before deployment. The actual production of a deployment image, such as a war file, can be left to the appropriate Ant task: there is no need to completely model your source tree upon the deployment hierarchy.Javadoc output can be directed to a doc/ folder beneath build/, or to doc/javadoc.
