Re: Compiling java sources codes from more than one directory

[John Casey]

That would fail simply because it would cause his package declarations 
to be wrong. For example, if he has:

DIR
  SUBDIR
    com.myco.pkg.Class.java
  SUBDIR2
    com.myco.pkg.Class2.java
then specifying <sourceDirectory>DIR</sourceDirectory> would lead to 
javac believing the classes to be:

SUBDIR.com.myco.pkg.Class.java
SUBDIR2.com.myco.pkg.Class2.java
while the actual package declarations in each java file would be 
inconsistent with this.

Unfortunately, the directory structure is important to javac.

I guess I misunderstood the question. I thought he was trying to build
a single artifact, but just had his source laid out in multiple
subdirectories under a single parent directory. In that case, I
figured he could just specify the parent as the one source dir.

Maven does not currently handle multiple source directories gracefully. 
I think you can add a preGoal of java:compile to your project's 
maven.xml, in which you might add your other source directories to 
${maven.compile.src.set} (at least, I'm pretty sure that's what the 
property is called - see the java:compile goal in the java plugin for 
more info)...

Alternately, you could subdivide your project into multiple 
sub-projects, and use maven's reactor feature (via the multiproject 
plugin) to do the trick. I prefer this approach, since the division of 
your source into multiple dirs implies that there is a reason for the 
separation...and it may be more appropriate to deal with it as separate 
artifacts.

Have you tried this:
 <sourceDirectory>Source/Dir1</sourceDirectory>
or simply
 <sourceDirectory>Source</sourceDirectory>
if you have other Dir diretories?

Hi, in my project, java source codes are in more than one subdirectory, like this:
--Source
   |
   +-Dir1
       |
       +subdir1
       |   + . . .
       |
       +subdir2
           + . . .
I tried to configure "project.xml" this way:
      <build>
              <sourceDirectory>Source/Dir1/**</sourceDirectory>

But, maven was not able to find java source codes.
Is there a way to compile all this codes in one subproject?
      Thanks in advance for the help,
