Consider using a different directory for scripts

[benmccann]

Eclipse by default uses the bin directory to put compiled code. The dotty instructions recommend changing this from bin to classes. I maintain sbteclipse and was hoping that we could avoid this extra setup step for our mutual users. I think that bin is a fairly generic and vague name that doesn't indicate that you intend for just scripts to be in that directory. Would calling it something like scripts make its intended usage clearer?

I don't know if this is worth changing considering the future of IDE support in Dotty is the Dotty Language Server (which currently doesn't handle building your project but will soon be enhanced to do so by delegating to the sbt server). Eclipse users should be able to work on Dotty projects (including Dotty itself) using LSP4E although I don't think anyone has attempted to do this so far.

I don't see why we should not do that. I also believe that scripts is a better name than bin

We could change it, but then we'd have to change paths in various places and let people know what the new name is. Doesn't seem worth the effort to me, but feel free to reopen the issue if it's something you want to tackle :).

It's not something I plan to do, but I am sure this can be contributed by the community

Given that Dotty will stop being cross compiled with scalac in the very near future, this issue is obsolete util Eclipse implements Dotty support.
