OK, omitting the <includedSources> element seems to work best for now.

I voted for the bug fix.

Thanks, Eric

Is there some way to wildCard the<includeSource>  element? I have a project in which

ever source file in the<configuration>  element, but I noticed that if I don't the 
sources do not get compiled.

I cannot seem to find any documentation on the<includedSources>  
and<includedSource>  elements.

On the other hand, maven-compile-plugin seems to know to copy all the sources found 
to the target directory anyway, but only the ones in the<includedSources>  
element actually get compiled.
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to wildcard it. You would be 
interested in voting for: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-210

What you can do is omit it altogether - that will then use /recurse. Given your 
source directory is ./ the thing you will need to avoid is having any source 
code you weren't expecting to be in a subdirectory, including target.

As an aside, why is it named maven-compile-plugin instead of 
maven-compiler-plugin like for Java?
I don't think there was a particular reason - maybe accidental, and now 
retained for historical reasons.
