Description

Maven module surefire-grouper uses javacc-maven-plugin to generate GroupMatcherParser and other Java sources.

Upgrade the plugin to the new groupId (org.codehaus.mojo -> org.javacc.plugin) and latest version (2.6 -> 3.0.3).

The plugin by default generates sources into target/generated-sources/javacc/. This location is inconvenient for the Eclipse IDE.

Configure the plugin to write generated sources to src/generated/java (an often-used location for generated Java sources) and add this location as a source folder using build-helper-maven-plugin.
