Yes, if jdk1.5 moves into the main module and is actually built by the 
main build file, I don't think it's very consistent with the existing 
structure or with other common layouts, to do it as

/tiger/src
/tiger/test

I've personally always tried to keep all source artifacts handled by the 
one build, underneath
  /src
in various dirs off of that, with output going to various dirs off of:
  /target
(we already do the latter, for the most part, in Spring as a result of 
the build reorg I did about a year ago).

In terms of an exact format for the dirs underneath
/src
I've generally tried to standardize on the Maven recommended directory 
format, which is as good as any other, and makes it simpler for people 
to use Maven if they want to, i.e.
/src/java
/src/test
/src/test-cactus
/src/webapp

etc...

Rod,Juergen, if the source does come into the main module, how do you 
see it being compiled? As part of the main build, or as its own little 
mini project?
