Most of our Eclipse projects have multiple source folders, for example:
When you right-click on a class and choose New JUnit Test, the default source folder for the new test is "src/main/java" (presumably the first source folder listed in the project properties).
Is there any way to change the default source folder for new JUnit tests, so that when I do the above action, the new test will be created in say the "src/test/java" folder by default?

Right-click the folder, choose Build Path, then Use as Source Folder.
To use JUnit you must create a separate . java file in your project that will test one of your existing classes. In the Package Explorer area on the left side of the Eclipse window, right-click the class you want to test and click New → JUnit Test Case. A dialog box will pop up to help you create your test case.
They are kept in a separate directory tree to allow excluding them from the deployed result (in particular to ensure that test code didn't accidentally get into production code). What matters most, however, is what works for your situation.
I use moreUnit, an Eclipse plugin to assist writing unit tests. Among other features, it lets you configure the default source folder of tests.

No.
Unless you change the plugin code, the default source folder is always the same as that containing the class you right clicked on (not necessarily the first source folder listed). I agree, it would be nice to be able to change it!
