That's not exactly what we want to achieve with maven. We want to have not only layout which is independent of Linux distro but is even independet of operating system. Maven repositories have some unique features and some of them are yet visible. For example soon we will make heavy use of maven POMs which will accompany artifacts stored in local repo. We need this to implement transitive dependencies facility. So we want to have something standard and simple and not something flexible which integrates differently even with each Linux distro. > > Any comments on that?
