I guess I was wrong. I think your idea of generally accepted project structure may not gel with our experience. > I didn't believe I had the time to go through a ask-20-questions- > to-get-this to work, so I made a best effort in one day, and that > was all I could afford to spend on this for now.

That and a few simple things will save you a lot of time. It didn't seem like you were sharing your experiences and problems with those who care. It seemed like a slam fest. I'm hoping you get the time to use Maven again, and find out that it does really work.
