Default file layout

If not otherwise specified the *.xsd,*.wsdl will be looked up in ${basedir}/src/main/schema

The source files will be generated into ${basedir}/target/generated-sources.

The resources incl. the TypeSystemHolder class will be generated into ${basedir}/target/generated-resources.

The generated sources and resources will be added to the project resources on-the-fly, so there's no additional configuration necessary.

Configuration parameters

The current supported option of the plugin can be retrieved via ...:

mvn xmlbeans.plugin:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=compile

Example output:

xmlbeans.plugin:compile

  Available parameters:

    project (Default: ${project})

      reference to the project

      Required: Yes

    baseSchemaLocation (Default: schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src)

      destination directory of the copied xsd files

    buildSchemas (Default: true)

      buildSchemas sets build process of the generated sources

    catalogLocation

      catalogLocation is the location of an entity resolver catalog to use for

      resolving namespace to schema locations.

    classPath

      Comma-separated list of jars and class folders

    classTargetDir (Default: ${project.basedir}/target/generated-resources)

      classTargetDir is where you want compiled class files to appear

    javaTargetDir (Default: ${project.basedir}/target/generated-sources)

      javaTargetdir is where you want generated java source to appear

    resources

      Singleton list containing the output directory for resources (output only,

      i.e. inputs are overridden)

    sourceDir (Default: ${project.basedir}/src/main/schema)

      sourceDir is a base directory for the list in sourceschema

    sourceSchemas (Default: *.xsd,*.wsdl,*.java)

      sourceSchemas is a comma-delimited list of all the schemas you want to

    repackage (Default: ${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}.metadata)

      Metadata package name. If explicitly set empty, generates to

      org.apache.xmlbeans.metadata

    mdefNamespaces

       If this option is set, then the schema compiler will permit and

       ignore multiple definitions of the same component (element, attribute,

       type, etc) names in the given namespaces. If multiple definitions

       with the same name appear, the definitions that happen to be processed

       last will be ignored.

       Format:

       <mdefNamespaces>

       <mdefNamespace>http://lazy.dev/duplicated/namespace</mdefNamespace>

       <mdefNamespaces>

    partialMethods

       Only generate a subset of the bean methods. Comma-seperated list of the

      following method types:
