Simply put, if you're using maven, should you treat the maven layout as the gold standard, or should you convert your layout to fit your tooling (WASD, myEclipse, RAD, etc.)?
Realizing that maven is configurable and you can override the defaults in the Super POM, I'm attempting to determine if I should change the layout to support specific tools that are in house, or attempt to make those tools recognize the maven layout. One thing to consider is the eventual integration of continuous build tools, as well as the different IDEs in play. MyEclipse is currently being used, but word is that they are not going to renew licenses in 6 months.
The first question I asked regarding this sort of thing was a bit too specific and one-sided.
