The only purpose of the /BLOCK-INF folder is to provide the path to an embedded block defintion. When embedding a block def in a jar file it *must* be located at the resource address /BLOCK-INF/block.xml.
But if your just trying to run the component then you can declare a standalone block (anywhere) and reference that. Or, just reference the generated jar file.
One thing to remember concerning embedded blocks - the only difference is that the content from the root address of /BLOCK-INF/block.xml is included implicitly in the classpath of the container. So making up an explict block just means adding the classes directory to you classpath.

Ok, I'm trying to run some components from within my Eclipse base WDSC IDE.
In This particular case, Eclipse won't allow me to place the BLOCK-INF folder under the target/classes folder which is the output folder for my classes.
In general it isn't allowing me to place the BLOCK-INF folder in any folder that would act as my classes folder.
And Merlin CLI, which I have configured as an external tool in my IDE looks for BLOCK-INF under classes folder and crashes.
So I was wondering if I can override the location where Merlin looks for BLOCK-INF folder.
And Do you guys use IDEs ? If yes which one ?

Can I change the location where merlin CLI looks for block.xml ?

Can you show an example of what you are trying to do?
