Where to place design documents

Is there a standard place in the maven project structure for placing 
design documents for a project?
I could imagine the following possibilities but was wondering if there 
was an existing convention in the making:

    * <root>/src/design
    * <root>/design
    * <root>/test/design

Thanks for your input.

I suspect that there are very few conventions for things Maven doesn't care
about -- unless you're planning on pushing these into the Maven site or
something of that ilk, otherwise making them a part of your build, then I
imagine you'll find that varies significantly.  My own answer to that would
be "in the wiki?".

I'm with Wendy on this. Put them in src/site/resources unless you'd  
rather put them in some external documentation such as a wiki.

If you want them to be published as part of the project website,
putting them under src/site/resources would work.

It depends on how you want people to consume them-- from their scm
checkout, or as published docs.

I see nothing in that document which answers the question. I too have
wondered this, but settled for just putting a docs folder on the root
level (since we do not use site in most of our projects).

It would be nice to have a standard folder for this, even if Maven
doesn't use it (now), though src/main/docs seems better. Though Maven
doesn't use this (for now), one of the advantages of having a project
set up in Maven is that I know where to look for things even if I'm
unfamiliar with the project.

I have thought about trying to get automatic documentation generation in
our builds by using something like LaTeX or Docbook XML. I have seen a
little bit from people who have done this, though it doesn't seem
common. But I haven't investigated deeply due to a lack of both time and
interest from my coworkers.
