[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-1330) Restructure directory layout

["Stephan Ewen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1330?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14290793#comment-14290793 ] 

Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1330:
-------------------------------------

I think a good solution would be to that the build creates a symbolic link in the root to point to the target of the build.

We can use the Maven junction plugin to do that:

> When building Flink, the build results can currently be found under "flink-root/flink-dist/target/flink-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT-bin/flink-$YARNVERSION-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT/".
> I think we could improve the directory layout with the following:
> - provide the bin folder in the root by default
> - let the start up and submissions scripts in bin assemble the class path
> - in case the project hasn't been build yet, inform the user
> The changes would make it easier to work with Flink from source.
