I agree with Paul It is very important to follow the maven directory structure. Maven uses "Convensions over declarations" It means that uses/developers know where things are. So uses does not have to specify default locations. So the poms become smaller and most important it becomes net understandable to the developers. It is by following these rules we start gaining gaining and gaining from Maven more and more. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4089558#...
