Having a standard set of protocols for a directory layout definitely eases the work of the developers as they need not break head on understanding where the particular package is located and what it is actually doing. As we give a lot of importance for the naming convention, we do so for the directory layout as well even if these do not impact the final output. Here I am sharing the maven standard directory layout structure.
