Can Maven tell Eclipse/m2eclipse to include generated code in classpath?

2012-03-12 Thread Ward, Nathan
I'm using the cxf-codegen-plugin to generate code from wsdl. The generated code 
goes into /target/generated/cxf. Is there a way to specify in the pom file that 
this code should be included in the Eclipse classpath? I need to reference this 
code from my code, but I don't want to put the generated code under version 
control and therefore don't want to move it to /src/main/java. However, if I 
leave it under /target/generated/cxf, then I have to configure my project in 
Eclipse to include /target/generated/cxf in the Eclipse classpath. This is no 
fun as I have to make this step part of the setup procedures that other 
developers have to do before they can start working with the code. Someone told 
me that this is not an issue when using NetBeans because the NetBeans/Maven 
component automatically includes the generated code in the classpath. Is there 
a better solution? Is there any articles on this topic that lays out the 
possible approaches and carefully weighs the pros and cons of each?

Thanks,

Nathan

If this is a m2eclipse question, you should direct it to the m2e mailing list.
