JEP 201: Modular Source Code

[Stephen Colebourne]

Just wanted to express my surprise that java files are still to be
located in "src/.../classes". For me, most open source projects and
most users of Maven and other build systems, "classes" is the name of
the *output* directory containing ".class" files. Having the ".java"
files in there is very confusing.

As such, could I request that consideration is given to using
"src/.../java" as per the Maven inspired standard directory layout.

If that is not deemed acceptable (because of the root package name of
java for example) I'd be happy with other sensible options
("src/.../javasrc"?), but please, not "classes"!
