Description

Instead of having to navigate thru the dir structure to get to the well-known location: src/main/liberty/config it should be collapsed for me, at least in certain views like maybe Enterprise Explorer?

Note this could be accomplished via:

  1. Adding this to the .classpath file: classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src" output="target/liberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer" path="src/main/liberty/config"/>
  2. -> New -> Source Folder -> src/main/liberty/config Could 1. possibly be worth adding to the starter (generating the whole .classpath just for this?) Seems maybe less than desirable. I wonder if there's a better way.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the starter generates the .classpath and how the src/main/liberty/config folder appears in Enterprise Explorer. Compare the proposed .classpath entry with the New Source Folder approach, then define and verify a way for the folder to appear collapsed in the intended views.
