Using jaxws-maven-plugin with -clientjar option

Question

I\'m using jaxws-maven-plugin to execute wsimport for a web service consumer app. I\'m using the -clientjar option on wsimport which was introduced with JAX-WS

Answer 1

The documentation for this plugin is a joke. A workaround is to manually extract the contents from the client jar after it is created like follows:

    
        
            
            org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons
            jaxws-maven-plugin
            2.3
            
                
                    
                        wsimport
                    
                    
                        
                            -clientjar
                            ${project.build.directory}/wsimport-client.jar
                        
                        
                            https://webservice.com/service.wsdl
                        
                    
                
            
            
                2.1
                true
            
        
        
            
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-antrun-plugin
            1.7
            
                
                    process-resources
                    
                        
                            
                        
                    
                    
                        run
