Compiler plugin picks up source from jars in classpath

[Michael McCallum <gh...@apache.org>]

I found that one of my dependencies bundles some source in the jar... the 
compiler plugin compiles it and it ends up in my artifact. Has anyone see 
this before?

This could be unrelated to the plugin but be a general issue with javac. If 
you read its tech docs [0], you notice that it reads source files from the 
class path as well and by default, also compiles them.

I didn't try it out, but the option "-implicit" sounds promising. As some 
last resort, shading the source files by moving them into a sub directory 
such that they cannot be found by type lookup should help.
