Hello, Maven's standard direcotry layout may not be accepted by everyone. Because of my favourite, I don't like the layout, however it is fit for much matters. To much legacy, we have to adapt to customized layout, and have to increase the POMs' complexity. Of course, nothing can be tasted well by everyone.

Maven2 is very good at small and large projects. My only complaint with maven2 is that it seems not quite ready [2.0.4] in some areas...if you need those 'not-quite-ready' areas you are in for some work as you will need to build and install snapshots of various plugins. ...Just my two cents. -dh -----Original Message----- From: Sha Jiang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 4:52 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Re: Is maven good to small projects Hi, Generally, I only use Eclipse. If there are serveral developers or many moduels , Ant and CruiseControl can be considered. I only think we don't consider Maven first in a small project. Of course, I must say that I don't recognize Maven several days before. I may be confused by Maven's "complex" mechanism, Ant can be used more freely :) My words are from a newbie's eyes. I'm learning the tool and its soul, and will use it in a real project. a cup of Java, cheers!
