ok.. then you have to write kind of a mapper which does the source 
lookup. which could be done automatically if the file from the source 
attribute of the class must not be a java file only... the source 
attribute is not forcing this. But to automatically find the file you 
have here to make several assumption, one of them is, that the folder 
structure for the source file follows the package name conventions known 
from java. Also this requires one source file per n class files. Many 
languages do have multiple source files that get compiled into one unit.

But still... these default seem to be reasonable for me as long as they 
can be overwritten. From your mail I get that this is not the case now.

so your proposal is one output directory per language? The groovy 
eclipse plugin is using this strategy, which causes all sorts of 
problems for the automatic builds... but I think those do not exist in 
Netbeans, so there might be no problem
