Maven Plugins - Which is best?

[Joshua Smith-5]

Maven Users-

There are 3 Maven plugins listed on the main JAXB web page. Can anyone describe the differences or make any recommendations about which one is the best to use? I'm mainly interested in schema generation.

Thanks,
Joshua Smith

This is my entire configuration in my pom.xml. It finds the XSDs anywhere in my heirarchy.

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>generate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

                        <schemaInclude>**/*.xsd</schemaInclude>
                    </schemaIncludes>
                    <strict>false</strict>
                </configuration>

Actually the choice is between this one:

> JAXB XJC Maven 2 Plugin
> https://jaxb.dev.java.net/jaxb-maven2-plugin/

And this one:

> Maven JAXB2 Plugin
> https://maven-jaxb2-plugin.dev.java.net/

Because this one:

> Maven-JAXB-Schemagen
> https://jaxb.dev.java.net/maven-jaxb-schemagen/

Is a schemagen plugin, it generates schema from classes, not classes
from schema.

Concerning the org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin versus
com.sun.tools.xjc.maven2:maven-jaxb-plugin, from my point of view it's
definitely the first one (https://maven-jaxb2-plugin.dev.java.net/).
This plugin has much more features than
com.sun.tools.xjc.maven2:maven-jaxb-plugin, the development is active.
Finally, I'm one of the authors :) and I'd say we keep in touch with
JAXB developers and users and react to the latests features/requests.

So the choice is:
https://maven-jaxb2-plugin.dev.java.net/

Bye.

Lexi-

Thanks for the information.

We're doing schema generation from annotated Java classes. Is your plugin still the correct choice or is the schema generation plugin?

Thanks,
Josh

It's the schemagen plugin then.

maven-jaxb2-plugin is only for schema-to-java.

Does anyone have some snippets from their POM that use the schemagen plugin that they could post? The web site doesn't seem to have any examples.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

Here's an example used in the Apache Camel project :


      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.sun.tools.jxc.maven2</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jaxb-schemagen-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.3-snapshot</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>process-sources</phase>
            <configuration>
              <destdir>${project.build.directory}/schema</destdir>
              <srcdir>${project.build.directory}/schema-src</srcdir>
              <schemas>
                <schema>
                  <namespace>http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring</namespace>
                  <file>camel-spring.xsd</file>
                </schema>
              </schemas>
              <!--<verbose>false</verbose>-->
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
