Hi Ron,

Maven isn't meant to be enforcing convention. It's meant to work without
configuration /if/ convention fits in your particular domain. Where
convention doesn't fit it's meant to be configurable. 

As for best practice... Using maven for version management is /not/ best
practice. It's a convention that maven has introduced and which doesn't
really work very well. The ability to configure things in this area is
critical to maven's success. 

Final point: ant is not a substitute for maven. They are completely
different things used for different purposes should not be directly
compared. One is not substitutable for the other. Ant is a build system --
maven is much more than that.
