Can't you generated class files in the expected location (in
${project.build.directory}/classes directory) during the compile phase? I
would expect these classes to be included in classpath for later pahses and in
the JAR created during the packaging phase of the module build (assuming
packaging type is "jar"). Have you tried that?

The more common pattern is to generate .java source files, and then include
them in the build.
Since you are generating .class file(s), could you do it in a separate module
of a multi-module build, then add that module as a dependency to your main
project module?
Could you post an MCVE, particularly your POM, which shows your current
approach?
Regards,
Curtis
