COBOL Call Stub Generator: COBOL Procedures have to be created in the source folder as configured on the project

Currently CSG creates the COBOL procedures in the <project_loc>/src folder. When using Maven as the build tool the source folder is typically located in <project_loc>/src/main/java. So after generating the stubs a manual step is required to move the Java class for the procedure to the right source folder. Interestingly, the data bindings will be out-of-the-box correctly created in <project_loc>/src/main/java.
? Either update the procedure creation part of CSG to honor the Java Build Path configuration of the project (favored)
? Or provide a switch to direct output to the correct folder

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; However, your request for enhancement is not something that the Rational Application Developer team can address as it is calling out to the stub generator owned by the WebSphere Application Server product:

    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/cgwas80/topic/com.ibm.websphere.cgwas.doc/info/ae/ae/tgrid_cobol_csg_generate.html

    Please open your enhancement request against this product. Thank you!
