I believe it would only compile <sourceDirectory> if <generatedSourceDirectory> didn't exist...
As for the serial generator execution, the only real problem I see is _what_ a particular generator would attach to as a <preGoal>. I mean, it might depend upon whether xDoclet, javaCC, antlr, etc. was running, and in a dynamic (unguessable) set of circumstances for different projects, I'm not sure how to get consistent behavior from these generators when they're used as maven plugins...when they're used as custom add-ons within the maven.xml, then it's a no-brainer. -j On Thu, 2004-01-08 at 17:16, Steve Garcia wrote: > > > What about specifying <sourceDirectory> as a fileset?
