Any way to generate WSDL documentation from Javadoc with JAX-WS?

Question

I\'m hoping that an extension of some kind is available that does this (although I suppose that my hope is foolishly optimistic).

   /**
     *

You may look at Enunciate. It's possible to use it's Maven plugin to generate static HTML files from Javadoc comments. This works for SOAP (i.e. JAX-WS) and REST (i.e. JAX-RS) endpoints.
