Thank you for the heads up.

I personally don't mix Maven and Eclipse builds so they don't  
interfere with each other. For Eclipse, I set up a build path manually  
and generate classes in a bin folder, whereas for Maven I let the  
target folder being used for generated files. Of course, it means I  
end up with twice the disk space for binary files, but this is only a  
few tens of megabytes. The eclipse build is what I use for current day  
to day work, and the maven build is what is used for official release  
generation (and will be used for continuous integration later on).

best regards,
Luc
