The rest of the patternsets are also not an Ant issue, but a design philosophy in woproject (to not force a project layout).

Maven don't force a directory layout also.

My point was that using either Maven or woproject, if you want a flexible layout you need to do more work. If you can accept a set layout, your life is easier. It is not an Ant vs Maven issue as Pierce was suggesting.

That's not quite what I was saying. I was saying that if you use Ant, you end up using a standard layout to reduce the amount of work you do. But since everyone has their own concept of what a "standard" layout looks like, there is no standard. Similarly, in Ant you have to specify what targets you want. So again, there's a "standard". The maven philosophy is to have defaults, so that if you adhere to those, you have less work to do. But that standard really is a standard, across all projects at all companies.

  Ant: Specify everything, somewhere (even if its in generic.xml)
  Maven: Specify only your customizations.
