Standard File Locations

[Jim Ronholm]

Is there an accepted convention for a standard Java file/directory structure. I'm thinking something like:
/project
/src
/docs
/classes
Maybe the compiled files should be the project directory - then if you were using packages they could start from this location.
(Couldn't find anything on this in the Chicken Coop.)

I've never seen anybody claim a standard in this structure, but I have seen a few developers (and IDEs such as JBuilder) organize projects in a similar way. A test directory is also not uncommon.
If you really want to get organized (and impress those around you), you may want to head on over to The Object Oriented Scripting Forum and ask some questions about learning Ant. I know some of those automated project building guys are big on standard (though personalized) project directory structures.
