1) When someone of Ander's experience makes a suggestion, you should
just do it.
2) You might want to provide some background about what you are actually
building.
Maven has been used for almost everything. It is unlikely that you are
the first person to use it for whatever it is you are building.
There is a real danger in this forum that you will get very poor advice
from very brilliant Maven experts if you ask your question without context.
Some of the people here can make Maven do damn near anything and will
tell you how to do it.
If you tell them what you are trying to build, they may give you a very
simple way to do it that is fully supported and used by everyone else
without any deep understanding of Maven.
If your technology has been in general use for more than a few months,
it is likely that dozens of people have already solved this problem and
any aven plug-ins that are required have already been done.
The only thing that you have mentioned is "annotations" and that is
hardly new.
Processing generated code is also not new.
Some of the authors and project managers from the Maven project are here
and the whole forum membership is pretty good at getting people through
the initial shock of Maven.
It is easier than it looks but you have to do things the "Maven way" or
you will be unhappy for a long time.
What are you building? What tool set are you trying to use? What IDE are
you using?
What is special about your app?

Anders,
I'll look at that, then. This is in the early stages, and I'm following a
tutorial on annotation processing, where annotations in code is used to
generate code that the compiler will compile on a subsequent pass. If I put
the source beneath the target folder, I think the compiler will skip it.
As for my problem of a second invocation of generate-sources, I'm forced for
now to keep a flag in a singleton object that is checked before I try to
process my sources a second time. This at least gets me beyond my error,
but I need to understand why this happened in the first place, and it looks
like a complicated issue that requires a deep understanding of maven's
cycles.
