Maven Project Structure

Standard Directory Layout

Maven automatically looks for source code, resources, tests, and other files in certain folders by default. You can see a list of the Standard Directory Layout in the Maven Documentation:

https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html

src:

• main: Contains source code and resources related to your project.
• test: Contains source code and resources for testing your project.

java: Both Java folders hold your .java source files.

resources: Contains non-java files related to running and building your project. Commonly holds properties files.

filters: Contains resource filter files that Maven will use when filtering resources.
