JAXB Maven Plugin

Welcome to the org.jvnet.jaxb:jaxb-maven-plugin (former org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin), the most advanced and feature-full Maven plugin for XML Schema compilation.

This Maven plugin wraps and enhances the JAXB Schema Compiler (XJC) and allows compiling XML Schemas (as well as WSDL, DTDs, RELAX NG) into Java classes in Maven builds.
