Java project and Maven project (eclipse) need structure description

When I create a new Maven project in eclipse, the directory structure contains Src / main / Java and Src / main (below)

Question: I understand that my code should be under Src / main / Java. What is the purpose of Src / main? Why did eclipse create it?

Solution

For Src / main / Java, Src / main / must exist first, so eclipse only displays all folders in your project, including Src / main/

If you want to remove them from the view in package explorer, you can create a filter for the package Explorer view and exclude non Java elements

Find the down arrow in the upper right corner of the package browser view for filter options
