Maven ANTLR generating wrong directory

I have the following pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

                <configuration>
                    <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>antlr4</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>

Normally, I use ANLTR 4 plugin which is described in this link : https://github.com/jknack/antlr4ide . But I want to use maven now, when I update my grammar in com.db.project directory, parser and lexer are generated in both default package (i.e., src/default package) and src/com/db/project/ twice, whereas I only want my lexer and parser in src/com/db/project/ directory. (including both .g4 file and java files in the same package)

How can I change this via pom.xml?

Simple change 4.0 to 4.2 in your antlr4-maven-plugin's version tag.

Note that the plugin will recursively scan src/main/antlr4 for .g4 grammar files. If your grammar resides in src/main/antlr4/com/company then the package of your generated parser/lexer files will be com.company.

Here's a small template project to get you started, in case you need it:
