jaxb2-maven-plugin only executing first execution

Question

I'm trying to convert multiple XSDs to POJOs in different packages using JAXB using the jaxb-maven plugin. I've set it up to use multiple execution blocks, the first execution block executes, then I get a message saying: No changes detected in schema or binding files

This is an extract from my pom.xml:

This is the error message I'm getting:

If I swap the execution blocks around, the first one always executes and I get the same message for the remaining two blocks.

Any ideas on how to work around this?

Fixed it by upgrading to version 1.6

<plugin> 
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> 
    <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId> 
    <version>1.6</version> 
</plugin>

and

<!-- JAXB GENERATOR PLUGIN -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
    ....

Fixed in version 1.6, in version 1.5 all execution blocks were using the same staleFile: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAXB-8
