How to configure IntelliJ IDEA and/or Maven to automatically add directories with Java source code generated using jaxb2-maven-plugin?
I wanted to update at the comment earlier made by DaShaun, but as it is my first time commenting, application didn't allow me.
Nonetheless, I am using eclipse and after I added the below mention code snippet to my pom.xml as suggested by Dashun and I ran the mvn clean package to generate the avro source files, but I was still getting compilation error in the workspace.
I right clicked on project_name -> maven -> update project and updated the project, which added the target/generated-sources as a source folder to my eclipse project.
