so far in my CS class, we've been working out of a .java file in VSCode and clicking the run button whenever we want to test/run our code. so i don't know much about properly setting up a project folder, what the src folder is for, what build tools are for, etc. i'm starting on a final project for the class and would like to learn a little bit more about those things. where should i start?

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

There are two main build tools used for JVM languages: Maven and Gradle
Maven is configured through xml, Gradle through Groovy
Maven is simpler, Gradle more powerful
