Most of our Eclipse projects have multiple source folders, for example: src/main/java src/test/java When you right-click on a class and choose New JUnit Test, the default source folder for the new test is "src/main/java" (presumably the first source folder listed in the project properties). Is there any way to change the default sou...

In this case what...
