    For src/main/java to exist src/main/ must first exist so eclipse just shows you all the folders in your project including src/main/

    If you want to remove them from your view in package explorer, you can create a filter for the package explorer view and exclude Non-Java elements.

    Look for the down arrow in the top right of the package explorer view for the filters option.
