under Eclipse, Package,source Folder,folder are all folders.
The differences are as follows:
Package: When you build a package, it is automatically built into the source folder and can only be built under this directory.
SOURCE folder: Folders that store Java source code, and of course include some package folders, and can contain other files as well.
After the project is built, the Java in the source folder is automatically compiled into a class file into the corresponding/web-inf/classes folder, and the other files are moved to the corresponding directory in/web-inf/classes.
Package and Sourcefolder Comparison
Same: The package can contain other files in addition to the Java file, and the compiled, packaged file path has the same rules as the file path under the source folder
Different:
1.sourceFolder by "/" to the division, the package by "." To divide the hierarchy.
2.source folder can be built under the package, but the package cannot be built under the source folder
the package attribute in the 3.java file is assigned according to the path of the "a", the source folder path does not participate in the Java file's Package property assignment, and the second one concludes that all source The package property of the Java file under folder is empty.
Folder: It can be placed in any file. Includes Java source files, jar files, other files (e.g., pictures, sounds, etc.). Here I explain that if there is a Java source file inside, regardless of whether the program is correct, Eclipse will not error, Treat them as ordinary files. But if the project is to use the files in it, the situation will be different.
Conversion of Package,source Folder,folder to each other
