Java projects

A Java project has an associated Java builder that can incrementally compile Java source files as they are changed.

A Java project also maintains information about the type hierarchy, references and declarations of Java elements. This information is constantly updated as the user changes the Java source code. It is independent of the builder.

You can organize Java projects in two different ways:

• Using the project as the source container. This is the recommended organization for simple projects.
• Using source folders as the source container. This is the recommended organization for more complex projects. It allows you to subdivide packages into groups.
