Question

I saw the same issue in many different locations and even after a good portion of googling, I could not resolve it. What I am trying to do (the bigger picture) is to go through

Answer 1

Better still, you can use the command line tool wsimport to generate the jar or files

generate the files into the build/classes folder, you can then reference it from there with ant javac
