It doesn't sound like Maven is really what you are looking for from your description. Its repository does do some of those things but I think you require a much more generic file management system.
Even if Maven does not do this sort of thing out of the box, it seems reasonable to think about building an environment-specific plugin that could do it. Checking for missing or excess files is similar in spirit to using a plugin to statically analyze your source code (like the CPD, Checkstyle, or FindBugs), or a different plugin to run tests and analyze code coverage (like Surefire and Cobertura). That way, you could benefit from all the standard features of Maven and extend it to support the extra things that only you might need. Craig
