Hi Stefano, Have a look to the mailing archive : http://www.nabble.com/Default-location-of-config-files--%3E-Maven-Standard-Directroy-Layo-ut--tf3466078s177.html#a9672316
It would be nice to update the documentation in order to clarifier this point because it's a quite common question. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html Rémy
