Hi Forum,

I studied the guide about folders and projects in the wiki and it kind
of confused me
(https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Folders_and_Projects).

It says "A project is a subdirectory of a folder that contains a file
with extension .jproj with the same name as the directory." Fine.

Folders have been introduced together with the nouns SystemFolder_j_ and
UserFolders_j_ which J creates upon installation. Also fine.

I'm not sure about the conclusion, though. Is it mandatory, that project
directories are children of the folders specified in UserFolders_j_? Or
is it at least discouraged to create a J project in an arbitrary
directory which is not part of the folder hierarchy already known to J?

Or, to put it in another way: What is the recommended way to create a J
project in a directory outside of the /home/user/j9.4-user/projects
hierarchy?

Sorry for this most likely trivial question, but somehow I'm not able to
figure out the connection between folders and directories.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Thomas
