I had a similar issue when I checked out a web project from a github repo on my eclipse  src main java was directly inside the project root in Package Explorer  My expectation was that src main java be visible inside a source folder  Java Resources   There were few things which I did to achieve this    Right click on Project   Build Path   Configure Build Path     Select filter  Java Build Path  and click on Tab  Libraries   Verify your  JRE System Library   If it is not pointing to your latest JDK  then you can click on Edit Button and follow the subsequent dialog boxes to select most appropriate JDK home path in your system  Once done click Apply  Apply and Close  Finish to close all the associated open boxes for the current filter  Select filter  Java Compiler  and ensure your JDK Compliance points to correct JDK  Click Aapply Select filter  Project Facets   Ensure both Java and Dynamic Web Module is selected with correct version  Click Apply and Close  Source folder  Java Resources  gets created with src main java in it when viewed in Project Explorer

I used this tutorial to create my maven web project http   crunchify com how-to-create-dynamic-web-project-using-maven-in-eclipse  and eclipse did not create src main java folder for me   When i tired to create the source folder src main java eclipse did not let me   So i created the folder outside eclipse in the project directly and then src main java appeared in eclipse

Eclipse filters out folders that are marked as source from the  raw  folder path  That is  they are visible only as source folders     If you can t see them in either place  then they   are either filtered out in the settings  check your settings for Package Explorer  the Package Explorer bar  downwards menu arrow -  Filters     or they were created externally and Eclipse haven t noticed them  Refresh your project in this case  or they don t exist  right-click on the project  select New- Folder and input the path  e g  src test java  not  Source Folder    After you use Maven- Update Project    on the project  they will be automatically added as source folders  provided you have the default configuration    Now  as I said  those folder will only be used as source if you preserved the default configuration in your POM  If you defined other resources and or testResources  those will be used instead  In general  Eclipse m2e synchronizes Eclipse s project source folder configuration with what s in your POM   EDIT  maybe this is unclear - see those folders at the top  The ones labeled with the  -separated paths  These are your folders  These are the same folders that you would expect to find in main and test  just represented differently

My problem was kind of the same at first and then a little different in the sense that when  java folder showed up  it was deep down in a nested folder somewhere in src main resources java  Initallially the problem was being in the Package Explorer and not in the Project Explorer as many people have talked about  So   a  right-click on your project root b  show in  and select Project Explorer  However  the main problem was I missed to notice a checkbox at the second step of Maven Project Creation from the wizard  That got me created a complicated structure and not a clean direct one   Once I marked it checked I got a clean project structure as what asked

This error happens when there are no files inside  src main java Just make some empty files inside and the problem will go away   A side note  lots of version control systems  mercurial for example  do not commit folders if there are no files inside
