Marshall,
Thank you for this helpful hint. I was just now following up on
Richard's tips and was trying to figure out how to get Eclipse to
recognize the new source directory. I think I now have a working solution!
I will send it around shortly.

Hi,
I agree - lots of source generation tooling generates to
target/generated-sources ...
This has the advantage that the normal "clean" operation removes these.
Using m2eclipse Eclipse plugin for maven - by default it will "miss" these
generated directories the first time you import a project as a Maven project.
However, the recovery is simple, and only needs doing once: right click the
project and select Maven -> update project configuration.

Hello Philip,
So, I would much rather have the generated
code put into a different source folder that has only generated code in
it. Something like src/generated/java or src/output/java or whatever
the convention is. My question is whether or not there is a convention
and if so could someone point me to a project that does something like this?
my understanding is that target/generated-sources/<toolname> is appropriate -
I've seen this in a couple of instances. This is also what is mentioned in the
NetBeans wiki on Maven best practices:
If your project contains generated source roots that need to appear in the project's source
path, please make sure that the Maven plugin generating the sources generates them in the
target/generated-sources/<toolname> directory where<toolname> is folder
specific to the Maven plugin used and acts as source root for the generated sources. Most
common maven plugins currently follow this pattern in the default configuration.
(Source: http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenBestPractices#Open_existing_project)
There is also a Maven plugin which allows to add folders to the Maven source
folders list. This may help if e.g. Eclipse does not properly pick up the
folder:

Cheers,
Richard
