Trying to get a feel for best practices here. Where do you store your deployment descriptors for a project at? Why do you store them where you do?
BACKGROUND: we currently store our deployment descriptors in the directory structure "d:\dev\deploy\PROJECT_NAME\META-INF", which is separate from source code at "d:\dev\src\PROJECT_NAME". This doesn't mesh well with ant, since there really isn't a project base folder. I'm trying to decide if I want the deployment descriptors under the new directory structure to be at "d:\dev\PROJECT_NAME\src\META-INF" or "d:\dev\PROJECT_NAME\deploy\META- INF". We currently use our deploy folder in a manner similair to a dist folder - the final products (JARs, WARs) end up in there. My guess is the deployment descriptors would be better off in the src directory, but I wanted to get a feel for what others do. Thanks, Kyle
