Attach source directory with build-helper-maven

Question

I tried to attach a source directory generated by jaxb or cxf in using the build-helper-maven plugin. Unfortunately, even though I got a success in the mvn generate-sources, my eclipse didn't add the target directory as a source folder.

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>add-source</id>
                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>add-source</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <sources>
                            <source>${project.build.directory}/generated/cxf</source>
                        </sources>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

Log :

    [INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:2.5:clean (default-clean) @ coucou-services ---

Do you have any idea ?

Best regards

Eclipse's M2 plugin will interpret better the declarations within the build section. Try this:

<build>
    <sourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated/cxf</sourceDirectory>
</build>
