This Maven plugin uses the Java API for XML Binding (JAXB), version 2+, to perform one of 2 main tasks:

• Generate Java classes from XML Schemas (and optionally binding files). This is done by delegating work to the XJC tool, bundled with the Java SDK. Documentation for the XJC tool is found at two places — the Unix Documentation and the Windows Documentation.

• Create XML Schemas from annotated Java classes. This is done by delegating work to the Schemagen tool, bundled with the Java SDK. Documentation for the Schemagen tool is also found at two places — the Unix Documentation and the Windows Documentation.
