The Java IDE's I know put code in a structure that fits
java tools, ant and maven.
And in almost any non-trivial case this is completely incorrect...
Given that a big part (my estimate: 80-90%!) of all Java applications
are build:
- developer use IDE and checkin to VCS
- build process checkout from VCS and use ant/maven to build
then it has to be correct.
even though I love Java as a lang I have a serious issue with some of
the attitudes/assumptions made by tools... namely the universe does
not revolve around the JVM
I find it natural that tools developed for Java development are the
best for Java development and tools developed for C development are
the best for C development and ... PHP ... Python ... etc..
