       Body:
+1 on having maven support multiple source directories. Having just one src dir lacks much needed flexiblity and doesn't address instances where a project's directory structure has either already been decided, mandated by policy, or adheres to popular opinion (Eclipse support for multiple directories in 2.x was abysmal. Not only did they get it right in 3.0 because of user feedback, they outdid themselves. Its a joy to see so much inherent flexibility in the end result). Developers, users, managers, and decision makers can all generally agree...choice is a good thing. Nevertheless, as wonderful and powerful a product as Maven is, this issue in particular (in my experience) is going to end up being a big thumbs down for Maven as far as corporate adoption goes.

Description:
Eclipse allows the user to specify multiple source directories while project.xml only supports one <sourceDirectory>. That's why synchronizing eclipse .classpath file and project.xml appears problematic. Allowing maven users to specify multiple src dirs will allow to solve that issue in a rather easy way.
