Would make implementing e.g. compile.single easier, since then the javac.includes would be correct for folders ("Compile Package"), and you could use a pattern like \.java$|/$ to match any combo of Java sources and packages. Could be used e.g. in JavaActions (IDE-generated target binding). For strict compatibility, should probably be a new format option, which would mean a new generic freeform schema (/2), so wait on it until there are other desired changes to this schema.
Jan, interested in working on this? I consider this to be one of the priority items for freeform. Tricky because it means handling a schema change, which was not easy for j2seproject - have to understand both /1 and /2 on read, but make some decision about when and how to make the format upgrade, with the user's permissions. (If there were no b/c issues it would be trivial and we would have done it long ago.) Take a look at issue #54259 too.
Consider issue #48079 in conjunction with this.
This has to wait to next freeform schema upgrade.
