Add the destination directory to project sources or resources

When you generate something with this plugin, you would probably want it to be included in project sources or resources.

For example, when you generate Java source files, you would want the destination directory of the generator to become a source folder of the project, so that the sources generated will be picked up by other build stages, like compile and package.

You might achieve this using the build-helper-maven-plugin.

You can, however, achieve the same without even using the build-helper plugin, just by specifying the following in the xslt-generator-maven-plugin configuration:

  <configuration>
    ...
    <addDestDirTo>sources</addDestDirTo>
  </configuration>

The valid values are:

• sources: makes the destination directory a project source folder.
• resources: makes the destination directory a project resource folder.
• test-sources: makes the destination directory a project test source folder.
• test-resources: makes the destination directory a project test resource folder.

When adding to resources or test-resources, all .java files are excluded by default.
