| Detecting existing layout |
| </h1> |
| <h3>Layout on file system</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The source files for a product are laid out in one directory "src".</li> |
| <li>The class files are in another directory "bin". |

| <li> |
| <p>Click |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective(org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective.perspectiveId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective)")'> |

| to change to the Java perspective. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p> |
| Click |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.newWizard(newWizardId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards.JavaProjectWizard)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Open new Java project wizard"> |
| <strong>File > New > Other... > Java Project</strong></a> |
| to open the <strong>New Java Project</strong> wizard. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Type "Product" in the <strong>Project name</strong> field.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>In <strong>Project layout</strong> group, change selection to <strong>Create separate source and output folders</strong>.</p> |
| <p>In <strong>Contents</strong> group, change selection to <strong>Create project from existing source</strong>.</p> |
| <p>Click <strong>Browse...</strong> and choose the <i><code>Product</code></i> directory on drive <i><code>D:</code></i>.</p> |

| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Click <strong>Next</strong>.</p> |
| <p>Ensure that the source and output folders are detected.</p> |

| <p> |
| <em>Warning: </em>If the <strong>Scrub output folders when cleaning projects</strong> preference in the |
| <strong>Output folder</strong> section of the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.preferences.JavaBuildPreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Goto the building preference page"> |
| <strong>Java > Compiler > Building</strong></a> preference page |
| is checked, clicking <strong>Finish</strong> will scrub the "bin" directory in the file system before |
| generating the class files. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Finish</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| You now have a Java project with a "src" folder which contains the sources of the "Product" directory. |

| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| <em>Note: </em>This solution creates a ".project" file and a ".classpath" file in the |
| "Product" directory. If you do not wish to have these files in the "Product" directory, |
| you should use linked folders as shown in the |
| <a href="qs-WorkingWithExistingLayout1.htm">Sibling products in a common source tree</a> section. |
