Is there a way to deal with duplicate element definitions across multiple .xsd files in JAXB?

Question

I have dozens and dozens .xsd files that I want to auto-generate code for. A couple of the files have duplicate names that clash when I try to generate all of t

Answer 1

I have a half-way workaround solution to this, but it is very time intensive. I had to create a separate for every one of the files that has duplicate entries.

  
    jaxb-mac
    generate-sources
    
      generate
    
    
      true
      my.company.mac
      src/main/schema
      
        mac-3.4.xsd
      
    
  
  
    jaxb-stylesheet
    generate-sources
    
      generate
    
    
      true
      my.company.stylesheet
      src/main/schema
      
        mac-stylesheet-3.4.xsd
      
    
  

The true is important or only the first will run and the rest will think that there is no need to run because I am generating into the same directory.

I would still like a less labor intensive solution to deal with the duplicates.

I think if I make the first master .xsd a separate module that builds into its own .jar file, I could then use the tag and have it skip generating the same duplicate elements over and over, since they are identical in definition.

I have since decided to abandon XML if at all possible and JAXB completely. There are newer and better ways to parse XML and map it to objects as of this edit.
