Why doesn't NetBeans IDE see the generated sources?

Question

I have a Maven-built web-app that uses JPA 2.0 at the back end. The JPA provider is EclipseLink 2.3.2.

When I build the project (and it deploys runs successfully) it bu

If you are using jaxws then make sure you add a node to the section of the jaxws plug-in "artifact" in the appropriate pom. For example:

        
            org.codehaus.mojo
            jaxws-maven-plugin
            
                
                    
                        dojaxws
                    
                    
                        ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/jaxws
                        ....
                    
                
            
            
                src/main/resources/com/mystuff/ws
                src/jaxws/binding
                2.0
            
        

As explained above and as noted by netbeans, you must use the generate-sources path appended with the "plug-in" name. Hopefully the above clears up what "plug-in name" means and how exactly one is supposed to get jaxws to put the generated sources where netbeans need them to be. Clearly the "configuration" section will be different for each plugin... The node is needed for jaxws, other plugins may use something else.
