The top-level directory of the Maven source bundle contains a Maven POM that is the top-level POM for Maven itself. That POM points to a number of sub-projects (listed in the <modules> section of the POM), and each of those sub-projects has its own sub-directory under the top- level directory. Each sub-project has a POM and a directory structure that conforms to the Maven recommendations. For example, the "maven- core" subproject has its source in a directory called "src/main/java", its core resources in a directory called "src/main/resources", its test classes in "src/test/java", and so on. There's other miscellaneous junk in the maven directories - readme files, etc. - that can be ignored when looking at the directory structure.
If that's not what you're seeing, then I'm not sure what's going on. Cheers Chris On Nov 22, 2010, at 3:48 PM, John J. Boyer wrote:

The "site" is simply the documentation web site that can be generated by Maven. You may find these links helpful in explaining things such as the Maven "site": http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html Cheers Chris On Nov 22, 2010, at 2:40 PM, John J.

Could you point me to a project that conforms to Maven? The directory layoutgiven in the linked page is rather brief. What are assembly descriptors and filter files? What is the Site?

For example, the Java source is stored in a "src/ main/ java" directory and test cases are stored in a "src/test/java" directory. The results of the build process are typically stored in a "target" directory which is at the same level in the tree as the "src" directory, and libraries go into "src/main/resources".Here's a link to a description of Maven's standard directory layout:http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html Cheers Chris On Nov 22, 2010, at 11:26 AM, John J. Boyer wrote:I've started to build a putative Java tree for BrailleBlaster, partly because I feel that we are ready for such an attempt and partly to learn by doing. So far I have a bin subdirectory for compiled classes, a lib subdirectory for jar files and a few classes from elsewhere, and a src subdirectory. Both the bin and src subdirectories are proper Java hierarchies.Under src/org/brailleblaster I have the following packages: startbb liblouisutdml and editor The first contains the StartBB class, whichcontains the main method and gets everything ready to run. It may have other classes as time goes on. The liblouisutdml package contains classes for dealing with the liblouisutdml library, such as convertingits input and output from and to JDOM documents and handling errorsreported in the log file. The editor package contains the classes Editor, DaisyWindow and BrailleWindow. Other classes will be added, such as Commons to handle operations common to the two windows. A method in the Editor class iscalled from the StartBB class to start the editor. This Editor classisthe Control in MVC. The two window classes are the view. The Commonsclass is the model. The editor's basic function is to display JDOM documents and trees and to modify them according to user input. Producing them and generating various types of output from them is the job of other packages. Besides this basic function, the edotor also acts as the general user interface. It therefore displays dialogue boxes and menus that areactually produced by other packages, such as the help package, whichhas yet to be added.At some time I may want to push this tree to the project repository,but I don't seem to have a password. At present the lib subdirectory contains jdom.jar swt.jar and Jliblouisutdml.class Jeuclid.jar will be added later, as will jar files containing classes to deal with other C libraries, such as itex2mml.jar and hunspell.jar All right, maybe I'm making a fool of myself again, but this is a start.
