Hi Jacopo,
tools/bin sounds good to me

Thanks everyone for the valuable comments!
I am trying to finalize this thread: there seems to be consensus to move all the executable scripts into a folder to keep things
organized.
For the name of the folder:
* some of you think that the "bin" (as I originally suggested) should be used
because it is often used for this purpose
* some of you are worried that this could interfere with some commonly used IDEs (e.g. Eclipse) that use the bin folder for output
and need to be configured to use a different standard name
After reviewing what we have now in OFBiz I am wondering if we could use the already existing "tools" folder; its current layout
is:
tools/api-java16
tools/src
option a: add all the executables to tools/ folder directly
option b: create a subfolder tools/bin and add all the executables there
What do you think?

Then we could recommend to name .bin for instance
But I wonder if this will not be a source of problem for newbies...
And also for Windows users, bin is not a standard name at all

That's fine with me. We just need to update the Eclipse configuration files.

I think that eclipse / eclipse users should have to accommodate the directory
structure of OFBiz, not the other way around.

Thanks for the feedback! Any suggestion for the name of the folder? I was hoping to use a "standard" name, that is why I
initially proposed the "bin" folder... but since that is not an option we will have to think to something else (unless we use
the existing "tools" folder but I am not sure about the intended usage of that).

Sounds great, but don't use "bin" - that folder is created by Eclipse and it is
in the SVN ignore list.

The number of executable files (*.sh and *bat) in the OFBiz home folder is rather big: what if we create a "bin" folder and
we move all of them there? In this way users will have a place where they will find all the executable files only and the
main folder will be cleaner.
