Not unreasonable. I would prefer an incremental change if we could do it that way --"make it work, make it good, make it great, in that order" -- but I grant the point about making it idiomatic.

It's more than jars ending up in their respective modules. You then use the assembly plugin to gather them in src and bin zips and tars. The sources and resources need to move as well, each to their respective module. I don't think we want to end up with a half-way Maven build full of odd configurations of plugins because we've left the file layout in the Ant style (not that there is one). One of the benefits of Maven is "Configuration by exception" where you only need to configure a plugin if you want non-default behavior.

This does leave the jarfiles in new locations, unless we postprocess to copy them to where they've been in the past. (Then again, maven is already outputting to target/ rather than build/, so this is not a new issue.) Having to move things around is a bit annoying, in terms of minimizing the changes introduced by the mvn cut-over; it would seem to prevent having a single project that can be built both via the old ant build.xml and the new maven pom.xml's, or that can be easily diff'd against prior versions. I find myself unreasonably reluctant to do that.
