Hi Jason,
Thanks for your quick answer. I understand your point of view, and fully agree with.
However I live in situation where I cannot change anything in the current layout (which is great however, here, to have something that actually exists!) [You know,... the legacy stuffs, that where there even before Java was born :-)]
Furthermore, the existing layout is not bad at all, so I have no agrument to bring thousands of developpers to follow the Maven directives.
On the other side I would like to use Maven as I used it in former project (when I was able to decide the project layout and structure). I am missing all those Maven reports, dependency consistency,... and more,....
I know I can override some properties on the project.properties file, but it seems to me a little bit tedious, and certainly not the "correct way" to use Maven. (Am I wrong?)
And I am pretty sure I am not the only one here that cannot use Maven, just because something alredy exists in their context. (votes...?)
So may be can I develop a plugin or something to do the sutff? Any idea? direction to see (I've never created any Maven plugin),..... Other suggestion?
Again, I would'nt like to modify the Maven code, even if I have a precise idea of what to do.
Every remarks would be welcome!
Regards, Didier

Dear All,
I would like to use Maven in our current context. We already have a local repository with a consistent layout.
Is there a way to override the local repository layout instead of having:
Currently in the maven 1.x codebase no, there isn't. When more of the 2.x code is integrated into the 1.x codebase this will technically be possible but it is really a matter of policy. I don't think it is something that would really be encouraged. That said it won't be anytime soon that those portions of 2.x will be backported to 1.x so you're on your own.
$repository_root/<packageId>/jars/<packageId>-<version>.<artifact_type> ?
Any idea (except modifying some Maven classes and use a "home brewed" maven version....)
Thanks in advance!
Regards Didier
