Actually I checked it, and this is not really necessary: you can configure it[1]. Anyway, I really think that it's better to user standard layout, to make your more idiomatic for others.

Here[2] you can a sample POM package for patristic, which unfortunately doesn't compile because of missing dependencies I don't know where to get. [2] http://people.debian.org/~gio/packages/patristic-maven.tar.gz BTW, working on this just made me notice that some new versions of FreeHEP were released some months ago. These releases were deployed on maven repositories, but I didn't notice them because they were not deployed on the site where development happened before. This is one of the many things I don't like of maven: it doesn't teach developers to have clean and clear release cycle and habits (for instance, where to publish the release), because the magic of maven will (try to) solve any problem.
