Background info: I have a module that uses the xmlbeans-maven-plugin to generate java sources files from xsd and compile into its own jar. This works and also creates a module1/target/generated-sources folder with the java sources. the module is built but with the generated sources inside the jar which is unnecessary since the xmlbeans plugin creates a separate jar holding the compile generated-sources
I am trying to exclude the target/generated-sources directory from being packaged into the module's jar artifact. I tried using target/generated-sources/xmlbeans/noNamespace/**/*.java in maven-compiler-plugin and maven-jar-plugin with no success
What am I missing here?
Here is the module's pom.xml, if the parent pom is needed I will post that too:

****UPDATE******
I have managed to exclude the generated sources but it is ugly and not portable:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>com/**</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This will include only the contents under target/classes/com after compilation has taken place and when maven is packaging the module into a jar which is not clean. Ideally, the exclusion should happen in the compiler so this way the contents of target/generated-sources are not compiled into target/classes/
