Explanation

By default, VSCode outputs '.class' files into different locations depending on the type of file you're working with:-

  1. If you run a single '.java' file, it'll output the '.class' file into a path that looks like this: /private/var/folders/ys/rgjr_wyd0d715dz546hydfrr0000gn/T/vscodesws_6d2aa/jdt_ws/jdt.ls-java-project/bin enter image description here

  2. If you open a folder that contains '.java' files and run them, the '.class' files will be inside of a path that looks like this: /Users/YourUserNameHere/Library/Application Support/Code/User/workspaceStorage/e358195aec7543686cb2440051c91f82/redhat.java/jdt_ws/SplayTree Project_d551e7d6/bin enter image description here

Solutions

  1. To find the output path for your own project, just look for it inside VSCode's terminal after running.

  2. To change the default output directory for compiled '.class' files: Go to VSCode settings -> Search for "java project output path" -> Click on "Edit in settings.json" -> Add the desired path inside the quotation marks (Note: this will only work with Workspace projects. It won't work with Maven/Gradle).
