Generating JAXB Beans from XSD with Maven

The following example shows a simple maven plugin configuration to generate Java beans from a XSD. I use the “maven-jaxb22-plugin” because it allows a simple integration of plugins to adjust the Bean generation. Leave the following arguments if you don’t need the feature:

• Xsetters - Generates setters to beans
• XtoString - Generates common to string method to beans  
• Xequals - Generates a equals method to beans  
• XhashCode - Generates a hashcode method to beans 
• Xfluent-api - Generates a fluent API to beans
