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.
