This is true for ant-based projects.

I do agree however I don't see how a couple of preferences for the
simple things like project layout reduce the options for your
development of WOLips. If you always look up the preference to find
the relevant folder how does that limit your productivity?
I'm asking this because this affects maven-based projects which have a
different convention but it's very easy for these fundamental layout
choices to be supported by WOLips.
Ditto for jar frameworks ;-)
