The name bin would is a good choice. There are many mature projects that us bin to hold scripting files, for example ant and tomcat.
In Eclipse you can change the name of the default output folder in the projects properties. Select java build path set default output folder at the bottom of the form. Create a folder say ofbiz/eclipse_bin. Eclipse will build to that folder leaving the name bin for other uses. ________________________________ From: J.
