 Unified source directory structure that is analogous to the repository
 itself. This way locations of intermediary artifacts of a build would be
 in a known location. This would also help with developer setup i.e. getting
 new developers up and running. They could run a maven command and have all
 their source trees set up in the same way as their colleagues.

 here's what I do currently in the netbeans part of the mavenide project to

 * There should be no big surprises here, although you may notice that the methods accept
