maven.apache.org has some decent documentation, such as a project
descriptor reference, and a user's guide. Do you have a question that
isn't answered there?
It also contains the address for the maven users list, which is probably
a better destination for your question.
Maven can be complicated at first, but it is a lot harder for me to
"explain the project layout" than it is to answer a more specific question.
