If I understood correctly, you can first process a template file before
compile phase then you can add directory of replaced files as a source
directory. For adding source you can use builder-helper-maven-plugin like
this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals><goal>add-source</goal></goals>
<configuration>
<sources>
<source>src/main/generated</source>
</sources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions></plugin>
