Description Karsten Thoms

When the source folder that contains Xtend classes is itself not located in the project root (like in Maven style project layout), the default "xtend-gen" folder is placed next to the source folder. I would expect that the default location of the would be relative to the project root.

To reproduce:
  - Create a Plugin project
  - Replace the source folder /src by a source folder /src/main/java
  - Create an Xtend class

=> The Xtend class will be compiled to src/main/xtend-gen instead of /xtend-gen

That's intended behavior, which allows to have multiple afferent tend target folders per project.
In Maven for instance you'd have a target folder for test and one for main.

I encountered the same behaviour and wonder if it's conform to the standard maven folder structure.

By default generated sources are located in ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/${plugin-prefix}

Those source files are not distinguished between main and test.
