Whoever wrote that plugin screwed up big time. That's not the way to do it!

Any workaround would be a huge hack, make the plugin developer aware of his bug.

Sorry, that's the only thing to do.

OK here's a hack, directly after your plugin's execution, use the antrun plugin to move the directory somewhere else:

    maven-antrun-plugin
    1.6
    
      
        process-sources
        
          
            
                
            
          
        
        
          run
        
      
    

In this example, toolname should be replaced by anything that uniquely identifies the plugin that created the code and com stands for the root of the created packages. If you have multiple package roots, you probably need multiple tasks.

But if the plugin adds the folder as source folder, then you're screwed.
