Maven JAXB plugin

Question

I am using maven jaxb2 plugin to generate the classes from xsd.

However, the XJC generates the classes each time, I run mvn clean install, though I have not modified the XSD /binding files.

PS:I have to do clean install as it's required for other tasks.

forceRegenerate =false is not working

Pls guide.

pom.xml

Please run mvn clean install -X and check the log. It should explain, why the code is regenerated (look for depends and produces lines).
