<h3>Layout on file system</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Java source files for a product are laid out both in <i><code>sources</code></i> and <i><code>deliverables</code></i> directories.</li>
<li>All Java class files are laid out in <i><code>deliverables</code></i> directory.</li>
<li>Project needs to use some libraries located in <i><code>deliverables/libraries</code></i> directory:
