When I said that Maven wants a particular directory structure, I meant 
that Maven has documented the recommended directory structure and 
provides tools (archetypes) that work out-of-the-box with that 
structure. I did not mean that it requires that dir structure. See 
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html 
for details.

Their recommendation is not too far from our usage.

With tooling, I have found it useful to follow recommendations and 
guidelines as it requires less effort overall and future releases will 
address those rules.
