Review Comment:
   Yes, let me explain, the generatedSourcesDirectory  is actually the 
directory for the annotation processor's generated source code:
   
https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/e5375fd10f00e4db5471bdc69ebdc4ba20f7bbdc/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/compiler/CompilerMojo.java#L114-L122
   
   Since the "incremental" feature is actually a rebuild feature, this 
directory is generated by the javac compiler, it needs to be cleaned before the 
rebuild of the module or the build will fail with strange errors, this probably 
fixes many bugs related to the "incremental" compilation and annotation 
processors.
