"Source and bin overlap: They were unaware you could change this in the default preferences, but then they suggested if you change it, automatic clean-up should be done." PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Currently we have the 'Window' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Java' -> 'Use 'src' and 'bin' folders as default in new Java projects' preference. This does not provide an option to convert Java projects that already exist. It is my understanding that the customer would like the option to change existing Java projects after selecting the 'Use 'src' and 'bin' folders as default in new Java projects' preference. To add to this, I assume that we should provide an option to convert existing Java projects the other way when the 'Use 'src' and 'bin' folders as default in new Java projects' preference is de-selected. The options to "Convert Java project to use src or bin" and "Convert Java project to not use src and bin" should probably be provided on a Java project basis (possibly under the context menu of the project or the 'Properties' menu of the project).
