The problem with this approach is that whenever someone calls 
java:compile, even in projects that have nothing to do with 
metageneration of code, the sar:metagenerate will get invoked.
I would prefer to keep sar plugin depend on jar but not viceversa.
Would setting a preGoal on jar:jar to attain sar:metagenerate
whenever necessary in a specific project (but not in the plugin)
not do the same trick?

BTW, I've changed the default metagenerate src to take the value from 
pom.build.sourceDirectory.
