title: How can I get eclipse to compile java files in WEB-INF/classes
body: <p>So heres the structure of my codebase.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ROOT DIR
      -- source dir 1
      -- source dir 2
      -- .
      -- .
      -- .
      -- WEB-INF
          -- classes
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Under the java build path of my project I have added ROOT DIR. However it looks like the java files in WEB-INF/classes are not being compiled (most, if not all of my compile errors are because of these classes not being imported).</p>
  
  <p>Apart from moving all those files in WEB-INF/classes to some other folder, is there some other solution to this? </p>
