Hi,

First question: why do you need to do this?

Maven defines strong conventions principles over config. So doing what you
say seems quite uncommon. So you've got three solutions:
* if the project can be cleanly refactored to be built, with clear deps and
so on => the way to go
* if those source directories comes from a special process (say generation),
then maybe the way to go is more writing a maven plugin that will do what
you need cleanly (writing a maven plugin is very simple). To help answer
this question, I guess you'll have to explain your need a bit more.
* combine ant-run plugin/buildhelper should help do the trick, but this
would be like using ant to compile when developing under eclipse

Cheers
