Chris, With qooxdoo 0.8 we favored a bit the RoR mantra of "convention over configuration". So a few things in the project setup are clad into iron, and others are, well, going against the qooxdoo tool chain's nature, so to speak. For one thing, you *can't* have the folder under your source/class path be different from the project's name space. It just won't work, sorry. For another thing, you can e.g. tailor the root output path of running build, using the "root" subkey of "compile-dist", but make sure to keep the "file" subkey in sync with this; just check the reference for this key [1] (re-vamping the subkeys and their dependendies for e.g. "compile-dist" is on our list of todos). But you won't be able to change much of the structure beneath it. So, apart from playing around with the existing subkeys for the "compile-dist"/"compile-source" config keys (drawing on the reference page) there is not much you can do. But I recommend not to spent too much time on it. It is easier to go with the default structure, especially when you are trying to catch up with 0.8.
