I have just gone through the same exercise and can probably help.
The 2 webapp issues I had, were that the web.xml file was not in the correct
location, and that we needed to do filtering on different config files for
prod/dev environments.
Our structure is
/src/java -for code
/src/test - test classes
/src/ws - generated webservice stubs
/src/conf/web - for web.xml and filterable files
/webapp for webpp
The interesting bits of my pom file are:
<build>
<sourceDirectory>src/java</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>src/test</testSourceDirectory>
<finalName>admin</finalName>
<filters>
<filter>src/filters/filter-${env}.properties</filter>
</filters>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>webapp</warSourceDirectory>
<webResources>
<webResource>
<directory>
${basedir}/src/conf/web
</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</webResource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-source</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>add-source</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sources>
<source>src/ws</source>
</sources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I'm still trying to work out how to compile the JSP's, I want to do this to
ensure that the will compile, not compile for release reasons.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Subject: Maven custom project directory
Hello Maven users,
I have a somewhat large project that needs Maven 2 implementation, and the
problem is that it does not follow the standard Maven directory structure. I
know that it should, and I also understand the reasons why. But sadly we
just can do it, mainly because we would loose all our years of source
control history in CVS...
(Its a web app by the way)
I can get it to build ok using the dependencies, but I just dont understand
how to make the war file correctly using a custom directory structure, I
have looked in Maven books and the website, but there really isnt much more
information than "use the <build> tag in your POM for custom directory
structures". If any one has had any experience with this, i would love to
hear it!!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Mark
