Module separation to allow other users to download just what they need seems evident.
Generated sources/resources in a SCM was once a hot discussed topic in my previous company. Our outcome was, that seldom changing sources, as generated sources based on an XML schema, do make sense to be integrated as: 1) The IDE does not show errors when checking out the sources 2) Generation of sources does not have to be part of every build process, but can be triggered on demand 3) The IDE is like a regression test for later generation of the sources. If the result is different there is highlighting of changes. Actually I tend to check in generated sources in general and even to have a control about the generated outcome.
