no. that is not the way that it was intended. in the case you mention, you should work with subprojects (like in the jpdl project). each project has the same base structure and should produce 1 product. (though this can not really be the case) so if you want to move it to a separate source folder, you should create a separate project. not just another dir next to 'main' also, i think the class *should* go into the main console sources. it's not a separate reusable component that is used in many other components. it is a class that is used in the console. the security issue needs to be handled differently. with configuration options, good defaults and easy ways of changing the configuration. not with cluttering the development source structure.
