Hi,

I've been looking at the current build system used, and OMG, it's
ant-hell! :)

I could leave the current directory structure intact, but then I'd have to
use custom maven2 plugins and embedded ant scripts all the way to support
that since this structure is not according to the maven philosphy
(the main problem being you can only specify 1 source folder, just as in
maven1, but it can't be easily circumvented using a maven.xml script like
Vincent has done.)

To the point: I'd like to move some directories around. Is it ok
if I create a branch containing the new directory structure + pom.xml
files, possibly using symlinks (yes you can version those
too nowadays, I believe) to point to the real source directories?
That way everybody can keep working. The other solution, building custom
plugins to facilitate keeping the current directory structure, will take
a lot more time and is more error prone, but you should decide.

Btw, if a new directory structure is made, the ant build system will
need modification ofcourse, if we want to support the two side by side
(but only after the branch with the new system has made it into trunk!)
