the name of the .jar file is actually derived from the id of the
dependency tag and the version (betteer to use version than the <jar>
tag). Then, it is looked for in your local repository, if it is not
there, in the remote repository (default www.ibiblio.org/maven - browse
there to find the newest jars, if you are using some of them).
so
<dependency>
<id>log4j</id>
<version>1.2.6</version>
</dependency>
Would resolve to : log4j-1.2.6.jar. That is looked for in:
$MAVEN_HOME/repository/log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.6.jar, and if that not
exists, maven will attempt to download it from
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.6.jar.

Checking out the whole project from cvs, you should see the project.xml
file in the top folder.

you can use maven with quite a lot of layouts, just specify your
dependencies (so it will not look into your lib/ folder, you have to
move or download your jars to the local repository) and specify the
source folder.
