Maven - replace java files during project build

My question is: I have java project and before compilation I need to replace some java files with custom files from external folder. I tried build-helper-maven-plugin:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>add-source</id>
                        <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>add-source</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <sources>
                                <source>custom_scr_directory</source>
                            </sources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

But is seems that it does not replace files, just add new source folder and that is why I have 'duplicate class' exception during compilation because files have the same names as in the main project.

A similar question is answered here (spoiler: antrun)

After all, build-helper:add-source would not do the trick, (it is intended to do what it does: add another source directory), you can safely drop it.

UPD: And yes, +1 to what khmarbaise said: you'll need profiles to make this goal conditional.
