Okay, so, due to various problems of my own, this is the third time I'm typing this, so I'm keeping it short. Basically I'm having this problem:

But let me add some detail, when I go to create a new package or class in the Minecraft/src folder it warns me that "Source folder is not on the Java build class path."
I ended up putting my tutorial.generic package in the src/main/java folder. I got to a point where the tutorial had me add a bunch of crafting related bits that appear to reference things that I think are in the files that should be in Minecraft/src. Here's an example error message: cloth cannot be resolved or is not a field
I'm on Windows 8,
Using Eclipse Kepler, that I redownloaded last night to try to make sure that wasn't the cause of my problems.
Forge build 1060
Basically, the explorer shows no files there, but the game still builds and runs fine, and has the mod included, except that it won't work now due to referencing things that aren't there, yet must be there since it's compiling fine. Pardon any misspellings, if someone knows how to ignore a spelling suggesting while typing with Windows 8, let me know.
