The structure you are looking for can be defined at the time of project creation in the source directory screen. If you have an existing project you will need to add a new source folder.

To do so,

  1. Add the folders to your project.
  2. Right click on folder > build path > use as source folder.

If you are using eclipse (which it looks like you are), you can use the M2Eclipse plugin, which will provide a "convert to maven" utility. Simply right click the project and go to configure -> convert to Maven.
