How to ignore the Java Source directory during Maven Compilation?

Question

I am trying to use the Lombok Maven Plugin to ensure the correct creation of Javadocs when using Lombok.

Lombok Maven introduces a new code generation goal, just pri

I recently switched from using the flakey maven-exec-plugin approach to generate raw sources for the javadoc tool to using lombok-maven-plugin

My setup

• All sources in src/main/java
• Generated sources go in target/generated-sources/delombok

I initially ran into this problem but it seems to be an easy fix: Don't let lombok-maven-plugin add the delombok path to the compiler source paths with addOutputDirectoy. IE

    org.projectlombok
    lombok-maven-plugin
    0.11.2.0
    
        
            generate-sources
            
                delombok
            
        
    
    
        false
        src/main/java
    

This seems to of solved the issue for now

EDIT: Bonus, how to generate proper javadocs with this setup

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-javadoc-plugin
    2.8.1
    
        ${project.version}
        target/generated-sources/delombok
