title: What are some additional directory conventions for Maven projects?
body: <p>Maven 2 uses a standard directory layout for projects, documented here:</p>

  <p>What I'm wondering is: are there recommended conventions for other projects besides the plain-vanilla Java library, Java EE and WebApp projects?  Specifically, where to place ant files, start scripts, configuration files, sample applications, etc.</p>
  
  <p>In addition, what is the convention for placing files outside of the src/ directory tree?  For example, is it common to place documentation under doc/ (as  sibling of src)?   </p>
  
  <p>Is there a page where these conventions are compiled? If not, can other readers provide examples from their own projects?</p>
