Hi Pieter,

i prefer to clearly separate generated sources from the manually edited
sources.  Therefore we generate our sources to ${maven.build.src} and
add this path for java:compile like this:

    <preGoal name="java:compile">
        <attainGoal name="generatesomecode"/>
        <ant:path id="gen.src.dir" location="${maven.build.src}"/>
        <maven:addPath id="maven.compile.src.set" refid="gen.src.dir"/>
    </preGoal>  

('generatesomecode' would be replaced by the andromda goal in your case)

Hope this helps,
-Stefan
