title: Where to create the folder?
body: <p>I am creating a Spring Boot application and providing some database support.  <a href="https://medium.com/@salisuwy/building-a-spring-boot-rest-api-part-iii-integrating-mysql-database-and-jpa-81391404046a" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The tutorial</a> that I am following asks me to create a <code>applications.properties</code> file inside the <code>resources</code> folder.  </p>
  
  <p>This is all dandy, except that I do not have any <code>resources</code> folder at all.  Is it because I am using Eclipse, while the tutorial follows IntelliJ?  I don't think so.  My question is - where do I create this <code>resources</code> folder?  I would be inserting the <code>applications.properties</code> file with database connectivity info in it, so this file should be accessible to <code>pom.xml</code> I guess.  Oh, and I am using <code>Maven</code> for building (in case it makes a difference).</p>
  
  <p>Currently, my directory structure is as follows:</p>
