About the plugin

JAXB2 Maven plugin generates Java classes from XML Schemas (as well as DTDs, WSDLs etc.) using the JAXB RI schema compiler (XJC).

This plugin is not just a simple wrapper for XJC. It provides deep integration with Maven (see, for instance the referencing resources in Maven Artifacts feature) and also provides fixes for a number of bugs and usability issues in XJC.
