As much as I currently dislike the current directory structure, I really
dislike the idea of moving too much stuff around while we're still in the
1.x workstream. Personally, I'd love the code to be easier to work with
in Eclipse... but... can we please just leave well enough alone for now?
The directory structure really isn't that complex... it's just messy.
Changing everything around at this point in the game will just cause more
confusion than it's worth.

All build issues aside, this is sort of a pain. Maybe an archived CVS
repository could be made? For example we would have "xml-axis" which is
HEAD
and then "xml-axis-pre1.2" which is everything up to the start of 1.2?
Then in
the HEAD version you could move the tests into an acutal testing
directory? Not
ideal, but then neither is having test packages part of the "src"
directory.
Just an idea,
