I disagree.  The src/blah structure works very well and helps seperate
concerns.  You don't want to deploy test code for instance with your fully
tested production code.

The build.bat is useful for windows systems at least where most people don't
have a command prompt open - that's just one more stupid window to leave
open with a bunch of others while developing.  It's much easier to click it
in explorer for fast builds - it's just faster than clicking cmd, changing
to the directory and then typing ant.

I think the benefits of a coding style should be fairly obvious by now.
Some developers feel passionately unconfortable when using a specific style,
but that makes code unreadable and some coders will even waste valuable time
re-formatting code, but not actually working.  This is inefficient and does
no good for anyone.  I like to look at any code on the project and not have
to think about how it looks.  I want to do my part of writing the code in
the project's style and assume everyone else is doing the same.  It's the
same thing as putting logic in the right objects.
