I've just been reading the doco for Maven. I hope we aren't going to have this tree structure. Why do people get hung up on these artifical hierarchical tree structures? No project (except the most trivial) is a tree. You could see this if you tried to build all projects from source rather than downloading shared components as binaries. Things are naturally sets. Trees occur when you have parent/child relationships which clearly isn't the case when you want to reuse components across projects. Another example is java itself. The packages java.lang java.lang.reflect are not a parent/child they are siblings that happen to live in parent/child directories when stored in a filesystem or jar.
