Directory layout

Maven projects have a common directory layout

NOTE: Use tree in command line to see this output below

This is from the project I have worked on

NOTE: poker-game.iml is just an intellij file and not really needed

Things to notice:

  • All code is in the src

  • pom.xml is outside of the src directory

  • Application source(ie main) and Test source(ie test) are separated

  • A separate folder called target where all the compiled files are stored

  • A resourcse folder for files such as property files
