Thanks for the response. Do you find the build to be fast enough for doing incremental builds? I mean, even if xdoclet doesn't generate the files in question, does the timestamp check take unnecessarily long? The reason I was thinking of taking my generated files out of 'target/xdoclet', was because the interfaces and utility classes it generates are so rarely updated, that the constant refreshing of the classes becomes tedious. How large is your project and what do you use xdoclet for (entity and session ejbs, taglibs)?
Thanks again.

Isn't it true that XDoclet won't bother re-creating your generated classes if the timestamps on the source and destination files match? I mean is there a force=false kind of setting or something? You can also set maven -DdoXDoclet=true on the command line and just <j:if test="${doXDoclet == 'true'}"> ....xdoclet things ....copy xdoclet-generated source over to src/java... </j:if> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonnek, Ryan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Maven Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 8:07 AM Subject: location of generated source > Where do most maven developers place generated files (ex: xdoclet)? > I've been developing a maven project for the past 6 months and have been > dumping all generated files into 'target' to avoid saving into CVS.
