How can I tell jaxb / Maven to generate multiple schema packages?

Question

Example:

       
       
           org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2

        

Answer 1

you should change that to define the plugin only once and do twice execution areas...like the following...and the generateDirectory should be set (based on the docs)..

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>0.7.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>firstrun</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>generate</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <generateDirectory>target/gen1</generateDirectory>
        <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/dir1</schemaDirectory>
        <schemaIncludes>
          <include>schema1.xsd</include>
        </schemaIncludes>
        <generatePackage>schema1.package</generatePackage>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>secondrun</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>generate</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <generateDirectory>target/gen2</generateDirectory>
        <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/dir2</schemaDirectory>
        <schemaIncludes>
          <include>schema2.xsd</include>
        </schemaIncludes>
        <generatePackage>schema2.package</generatePackage>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

It seemed to me that you are fighting against single artifact rule of maven...may be you should think about this.

The following works for me, after much trial

<plugin>
         <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
         <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.1</version>
         <executions>
            <execution>
              <id>xjc1</id>
              <goals>
                  <goal>xjc</goal>
              </goals>
             <configuration>
                <packageName>com.mycompany.clientSummary</packageName>
               <sourceType>wsdl</sourceType>
                <sources>
                <source>src/main/resources/wsdl/GetClientSummary.wsdl</source>
                </sources>
                <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/xjb</outputDirectory>
                 <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
            </configuration>
          </execution>

          <execution>
             <id>xjc2</id>
             <goals>
                 <goal>xjc</goal>
             </goals>
             <configuration>
                <packageName>com.mycompany.wsclient.employerProfile</packageName>
                <sourceType>wsdl</sourceType>
                <sources>
                <source>src/main/resources/wsdl/GetEmployerProfile.wsdl</source>
                </sources>
                <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/xjb</outputDirectory>
                <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
         </configuration>
         </execution>

         <execution>
            <id>xjc3</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>xjc</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <packageName>com.mycompany.wsclient.producersLicenseData</packageName>
                <sourceType>wsdl</sourceType>
                <sources>
                <source>src/main/resources/wsdl/GetProducersLicenseData.wsdl</source>
                </sources>
                <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/xjb</outputDirectory>
                <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
            </configuration>
        </execution>


     </executions>
  </plugin>

There is another, a clear one (IMO) solution to this There is a parameter called "staleFile" that uses as a flag to not generate stuff again. Simply alter it in each execution.
