Hi, I am new to Maven2 and have been having an issue with the compiling of the source for a RAR. Maven currently copies all the information located at my sourceDirectory instead of compiling it even though the console states that the source is being
compiled. If I navigate to the sourceDirectory I find all my source files with no
compiled class files. I have tried changing my outputDirectory to a different location and when I inspect this directory I find that it only copied my source files instead of compiling them. I have added an example of my POM. Any advice would be appreciated and please keep in mind I have only started learning/implementing Maven2 yesterday :)
