Hi, You can configure sourceDirectory, testDirectory, etc... in your pom ( http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Build_Element). And I think that archetype generation (mvn archetype:create-from-project) will not cause trouble, even if your directory structure is not so Maven friendly.
Also, archetype generation as nothing to do with m2e: http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/index.html Welcome back on the Maven world! 2013/11/18 Russell Bateman <r...@windofkeltia.com> > Thanks very much for these ideas.
