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 -----Original Message----- From: Jörn Kottmann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 7:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SVN source structure for Apache cTAKES?

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. Jörn
