Hi all,
if I should give any extra info to get this question answered, please
let me know.

In the meanwhile, I'm driving the on-demand recompilation of the
selected sources (the generated ones) from ANT again.  Is it perhaps
impossible (or undesirable) to use Maven exclusively (= only maven.xml
and project.xml but no ANT build.xml) for our project requirements?

Kind regards,

Subject: Forcing a recompile of Java sources
To: [email protected]


Hi, since recently we've moved the build process of our MDA tool from
ANT to Maven.  I can't find out how we should set up our build process
to get the effect of our previous ANT target "build-gensrc" which
compiled the generated source of a particular model without first
regenerating it.  We need this kind of build target because it is
useful to include manual debug output in generated sources.

I hoped that "maven java:compile" would do the trick for us but
apparantly Maven does not notice the manual changes to the generated
Java file:
[echo] No java source files to compile

I can't imagine that there's a bug in Maven concerning the comparison
between the time stamp of the Java sources with the corresponding
classfiles so probably I'm doing something wrong.

Can anybody please help us understanding the Maven approach to manage
builds for generated applications better?

Thanks a lot in advance,
