java - Eclipse's workspace: Shall I put my images in 'src' or 'bin' folder?

Question

I'm working in a project in Java and sometimes all my images randomly dissapeared from the project's bin folder. It is getting very annoying because I have to put everything again every time it happens. Someone told me that I shouldn't put my extra files in bin but in src. But eclipse doesn't read my images if I put them in src, as if they weren't there. Why is this happening? Thanks.

Answer 1

Create one resources folder and put them there. Then mark that folder as "source folder" (right click -> Build Path -> Use as source folder)
