Trent Rosenbaum commented on MNG-1267:
--------------------------------------

I think when you compare this to another introduction, (for example the 
Introduction to the Build Lifecycle) there is scope to expand the document.  
At the bottom of the document there are some general descriptions, maybe these 
could be more visual in nature?  Another example could show that some plugins 
generate extra folders under the target directory, (the maven-release plugin 
creates a checkout folder).

One idea I was thinking about comes from the second paragragh -

"The next section documents the directory layout expected by Maven and the 
directory layout created by Maven. Please try to conform to this structure as 
much as possible; however, if you can't these settings can be overridden via 
the project descriptor."

Maybe the document could be expanded to show some simple examples of how the 
directory layout can be tailored through the pom.xml file?  The document could 
be layed out to knock home the fact that this is a very robust project 
structure and is very flexible.

Any thoughts on these ideas?
