In your pom.xml

  
    org.codehaus.mojo
    xml-maven-plugin
    
      
        
          validate
        
      
    
    
      
          src/main/resources/xsd/catalog.xml
      
      
        
          src/main/resources/xsd
          src/main/resources/xml/mytag.xml
        
      
    
  

and in your catalog file src/main/resources/xsd/catalog.xml
