I can only refer you to the "What Is Maven" page [1]: Maven does encourage best practices, but we realise that some projects may not fit with these ideals for historical reasons. While Maven is designed to be flexible, to an extent, in these situations and to the needs of different projects, it can not cater to every situation without making compromises to the integrity of its objectives.
If you decide to use Maven, and have an unusual build structure that you cannot reorganise, you may have to forgo some features or the use of Maven altogether. Good news -- no one (on this list, at least) is forcing you to use Maven! And its open source, so if you need this feature, you can go in and add it yourself.
