However, by following the pre-configured conventions, you are able to produce exactly the same result with much less configuration. Given that I have to preconfigure <em>some</em> sort of directory structure, it makes sense to use an existing "standard". It certainly makes it easier if you want to try the two build systems side-by-side. Cheers, Joe Hi George,

Even if it's not the best convention, but one that satisfies the acceptance criteria.... Maven's good! It stops us from thinking!..... George Hey Joe,

Isn’t this a roundabout way of implementing the Maven philosophy of convention enforcement? Even if it’s not the best convention, but one that satisfies the acceptance criteria…. Maven’s good! It stops us from thinking!…..
