Description Stefan Oehme CLA 2013-11-25 05:47:39 EST 
For Java based languages, the xtext-maven-plugin should automatically add the generated sources to the Java compile sources using:

mavenProject.addCompileSourceRoot(...)

Otherwise, people have to use the build-helper plugin to add the source folders, which just adds boilerplate (see Sven's example on Github).

The xtend-compiler-plugin already does this correctly.

We cannot reliable tell which of the possibly many output folders should be added as a source folder. So to support this we'd need some indication on a per outputConfiguration level.

>we'd need some indication on a per outputConfiguration level.

That's what I was thinking as well. I would add two boolean flags

- generatesJava (added to the source roots)
- generatesResources (added to the resources)
