The output folder belongs to the Java builder. It summarily deletes files from the output folder that it does not think belong there. It is not possible to get away with adding files directly to the output folder. So you cannot even mate the extra resource files with the class files manually.

Yes, you can define it as a linked folder.

This this SO answer for more (or this one)

To create a new linked folder select New->Folder, input bin in the folder name: field then click Advanced>>

Click Link to folder in the file system
Click on Variables... to bring up the Select Path Variable dialog.

If this is your first time, or you are linking to a new location select New... and give the variable a sensible name and path.

More precisely, you define your output directory (say 'bin') as a linked folder, then you set that directory as the official output one of your project.
