Locate binary directory in project folder.

[deffence1776]

I am trying to use visual studio code for java to train beginners.

In java project, a binary directory is usually located in project folder.
It is useful for beginners to see binary folder to realize what is "compile".

So, can you change the "no build tool" template, or make it configurable?

I tried to change ".classpath" file and it worked.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="_/src"/>
	<classpathentry kind="output" path="_/bin"/>
</classpath>

A PR is raised at upstream side: eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1594

Please feel free to comment there if you have any questions.

Thanks

I'll close this issue since the upstream PR has been merged. It should be available in the next version of redhat.java

What you need to do is add bellow setting in your WORKSPACE scope settings.json:

"java.project.outputPath": "bin"

Please not that: The setting will only take effect when it's configured in the WORKSPACE scope!!
