Re: using a "non-standard" directory structure ...

My apologies, and thanks for the link to the maven site.  I have never 
developed a product that used Maven, so this was news to me.  I agree with Jörn 
(thanks for the defense!) in that it is our choice and we should do what we 
feel is best (the point of this whole discussion), but I would like to retract 
my vote against something that is an accepted standard.  I haven't seen this 
structure "in use" for a decade (except legacy products), and I think that 
src/main/ and src/test/ and src/site grows the tree unnecessarily, but oh well. 
 I honestly thought that the standard was progressing away from this, and I 
don't like it, but I can deal with it.   

Cheers again for the link,
Sean

Not everyone is using maven in this world.

The project is free to choose which ever build tool they prefer.

Many Apache projects use maven and its a good tool to make a
release of an Apache project, because many things work more
or less out of the box with the Apache parent pom.
