No, I don't think it's weird. :-) I need that class to do the source
generation (it's the model). I don't want it in a separate JAR, that
would be silly. There's nothing complex about this. Besides, the
compilation is working fine.

The Main class would be used by the plugin as the model for the source
generation. So the plugin expects the source for the model (in
src/main/java) and the templates (in something like
src/main/templates). That seems reasonable to me.

Anyway, these seem to be philosophical questions. I still don't
understand why I can't load a class that's on the classpath.
