Hi Raphaël, Thank you very much for your answer and the time you took to write it.
Unfortunately I am still confused and not able to solve the "puzzle". To be concrete, I am generating java source from an XSD using jaxb. I accomplish that currently with a shell script. The generated source I want to be written to the target folder since I do not see any sense in checking them in. I am afraid I do not understand what you mean with the following <Quote> So each generating sources plugin defines in its configuration the directory/files used as input and defines a directory where to output the generated files. </Quote> Obviously that is something jaxb does not provide. So how do I accomplish that? Do I have to write a plugin wrapping Jaxb?

Maven 2 more than Maven 1 enforce convention by letting you modify the pom only if the default convention do not fill your needs. So each generating sources plugin defines in its configuration the directory/files used as input and defines a directory where to output the generated files. If the plugin generates java files, it also add the generated directory into the project's sources directories (viewable at runtime only). As you know Maven 2's plugins executions are attached to phases, which are executed in a predefined order. Therefore, if you run mvn compile, the generated source should be compiled. Because the generate-sources phase always occurs before the compile phase. > The Problem: > > I have generated sources that I generate under target/generated-sources. > But now I am missing the information where to tell Maven2 in the POM > that I have sources in the target tree. > For information about what the plugins are doing, run maven with the -X option.
