Support specifying output directory for generated resources
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MCASTOR-31
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCASTOR-31
             Project: Maven 2.x Castor Plugin
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Core MOJOs
    Affects Versions: 1.5
            Reporter: Stevo Slavic
            Priority: Minor


Generate goal generates all files (.java and .castor.cdr files) in directory 
configurable by dest parameter. IMO it would be better if one could configure 
additional parameter, e.g. resourcesOutputDirectory, to be able to separate 
Java sources from castor resources. To be backward compatible this new 
parameter could have default value equal to dest parameter.

Both .class (from generated .java files) and .castor.cdr files are needed at 
runtime. To get generated Java classes added one can use 
build-helper-maven-plugin:add-source and configure source folder to be equal to 
dest of castor-maven-plugin. With just this, .castor.cdr files would not end up 
discovered as resources. So to get cator-maven-plugin generated resources 
discovered as resources either maven-resources-plugin needs to be configured 
(one has to be careful not to forget default resources), or 
build-helper-maven-plugin - maven-assembly-plugin combination can be used. If 
there was this additional parameter in castor-maven-plugin generate goal, one 
could just configure build-helper-maven-plugin:add-resource plugin.
