Jason,

Please, I beseech you to reconsider the "make target/ your only choice" limitation.
We acknowledge that a standard directory structure facilitates maintenance.
However, please, consider that the specific folder naming could be defined as 
configurable items.  We still benefit from
the existing directory the structure and the jelly scripts behavior is preserved.

"target/" becomes "${target-dir-nm}/" in build.xml and jelly.

with
# ------------------
# build.properties
# ------------------
bin-dir-nm=bin
target-dir-nm=target
conf-dir-nm=conf
dist-dir-nm=dist
lib-dir-nm=lib
sql-dir-nm=sql
src-dir-nm=src
tst-dir-nm=test
web-dir-nm=web
xdoc-dir-nm=xdoc

Thanks for your consideration.

Sean

I'll ask why you really want to do this and second that in coming versions I would 
like to make target/ your only
choice.

Why do you even want to do this?
