How to generate Java from an XSD using MOXy under Maven-3?

Question

What's the easiest/best way to generate Java from an XSD using MOXy under Maven-3? The reference JAXB interface has a nice Maven plugin, but it doesn't appear to support MOXy.

Does anyone have anything concrete to offer? (I know I can write ant-script, or a plugin, or ...)

Answer 1

EclipseLink MOXy, does not yet offer a Maven plugin to run the XML schema to Java compiler. I have entered the following enhancement request to track this functionality:

MOXy leverages the XJC component from the reference implementation, so you could access that Maven plug-in and add then add the jaxb.properties file specifying MOXy as the JAXB provider:
