Why have sourceDirectories the maven values and not the tycho ones?

[pjljvandelaar]

When looking at the value of

   <sourceDirectory>...\src\main\java</sourceDirectory>
    <testSourceDirectory>...\src\test\java</testSourceDirectory>

I am surprised that they have the maven defaults and not tycho ones:

   <sourceDirectory>...\src</sourceDirectory>
    <testSourceDirectory>...\src-test</testSourceDirectory>

In the latter case, I could also use the variable ${project.build.sourceDirectory}.
See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2362652/excluding-classes-in-maven-checkstyle-plugin-reports for relevant use case.

Please note that not Tycho is making any defaults, the are inherited form JDT/PDE ...

Beside that it all depends on your configuration, so the best would be to share a minimal example, also not that Eclipse is able to define multiple source directories while maven pom does not directly expose that.
