[please don't top-post on this list]

I'd rather us moving the code into a subdirectory than require
a symlink.  For Eclipse this is easy to change the directory that
the code is in, we just have to edit the .classpath to move the
source folder lower in the tree.

But this shows one reason why I don't use Maven I think.  The
fact that we need a "java" directory to hold our java code.
What if another build system wants a different name?  Grumble.

For the most part git-merge-recursive can handle a merge through
this sort of rename.  But we'd like to do this sort of thing at
some relatively stable point in time to try and minimize the impact
it has.
