Where should I store my images?

I'm developing a Java application, and I don't know where is the best place to store the images in the project folder. Should I make a resources folder at the root, or inside the src folder. Or somewhere else ?

Where should it be so it won't make my Ant builds crash ?

Thanks.

PS : I didn't know if I should post here or on meta. I did it here, but if that's not appropriate, just tell me, i'll know for the next one.

Solution

  • I'd go with project/resources. I.e., have a structure that looks like

    + project
+--- src/        (your source code)
+--- lib/        (your libraries)
+--- bin/        (compiled classes)
+--- resources/  (images etc)
+--- build.xml
