Generating XSD schemas from JAXB types in Maven?

Question

I\'m trying to basically generate XSD schemas from my model classes annotated in JAXB using a Maven plugin. Here\'s the relevant code in my POM:

Answer 1

Improving on Naftuli Tzvi Kay's answer, I found it more convenient to use the now-current version 2.2 of the jaxb2-maven-plugin, like in this sample (as the 2.x version requires slightly different configuration):

    org.codehaus.mojo
    jaxb2-maven-plugin
    2.2
    
        
            
                schemagen
            
            generate-resources
            
                
                    src/main/java/com/foo/model/xml
                
                ${project.build.directory}/schemas
            
        
    

See the plugin documentation for more details.
