And while I don't want (and couldn't really care less) to start a ant/maven/buildr/whatever flame fest, I think it might be useful to rely on the multi-module directory layout provided by maven (again, regardless of the build tool) as this is somewhat a friendly solution to newcomers who will feel a bit more at home when browsing the source code. -- Gianugo Rabellino Sourcesense, making sense of Open Source: http://www.sourcesense.com (blogging at http://www.rabellino.it/blog/)
