Currently the maven plugin uses src/main/xtend-gen and src/test/xtend-gen as the default directory for generated .java files during compilation.

The standard behavior for Maven is to use target/generated-sources/xxxx for generated source files.

IntelliJ IDEA and (I believe) Netbeans automatically detect these directories as source directories and use them for auto-completion and static analysis of the rest of a project.

As it's often frowned upon to generate source code into version control managed directories, and it improves integration with non-eclipse development tools, it would be good to change the default configuration to use the following output directories:

  <configuration>
    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/xtend</outputDirectory>
    <testOutputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/test-xtend</testOutputDirectory>
  </configuration>
