Hi Brett, thanks for your reply. > I'm not sure what you are using to generate sources I'm using AndroMDA (http://andromda.sourceforge.net/) to generate Java sources from UML models.

In fact, the sources are already generated in project.xml's sourceDirectory itself so I thought that the regular build goal would work for the AndroMDA-generated sources as well as for non-generated sources... Where am I wrong? > You'll need to get that tag called first - either by adding the > preGoal yourself, or calling the appropriate goal from the source > generator. The goal that is not working as it should is 'build'. AndroMDA has already done it's job and the generated sources have been modified manually (for displaying debug output) so should be recompiled without running AndroMDA again. Does this comply with your solution? Best regards, Pieter.
