Hi Haskellers,

is there a recommended structure for Haskell projects. I like the Maven way (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html) for Java projects. How to separate productive from test code, how to separate source code from other resources?

I like the way the Snap-framework is organized:

./src/

./test/

./test/data/

./test/suite/

./snap-framework.cabal

Then if you have e.g.

./src/Snap/Types.hs

the tests go in

./tests/suite/Snap/Types/Tests.hs

Basically "src" is for all productive code, "test" is for tests of that code. I sometimes add these to the top level:

./tools

./resources

"tools" is for code generators or similar tools that auto-generate stuff to go in ./src which cabal doesn't know about. "resources" would be data files, images, or similar resources that get bundled with the distribution.
