JAXB classes generation from XSD schema results in a strange package structure

Question

With the following plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>xjc</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>xjc</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <schemaDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/</schemaDirectory>
        <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

I generate classes from an XSD schema (let's say entity.xsd) placed in the /src/main/resources, the root element with namespace definition is on the example below:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:webpage="https://www.mywebpage.com"
    targetNamespace="https://www.mywebpage.com"
    elementFormDefault="qualified">

    ...
</xs:schema>

Upon mvn clean install, the generated structure in the target/generated-sources/jaxb is very odd:

target/generated-sources/jaxb
- https
  - www_mywebpage
    - ObjectFactory.java
    - Entity.java
    - EntityDetailsRequest.java
    - EntityDetailsResponse.java

I expected something like:

target/generated-sources/jaxb
- com.mywebpage
  - ObjectFactory.java
  - Entity.java
  - EntityDetailsRequest.java
  - EntityDetailsResponse.java

What do I do wrong?

Why did you expect `com.mywebpage`? You didn't specify that anywhere. Perhaps if you explicitly specified `` you'd get what you want. I mean, that's in the very first [example](http://www.mojohaus.org/jaxb2-maven-plugin/Documentation/v2.2/example_xjc_basic.html) on the plugin documentation site. — Andreas, Oct 04 '18 at 20:05
@Andreas: I followed the following tutorial: https://howtodoinjava.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-soap-webservice-example/. The plugin should generate the package according to the namespace. — Nikolas Charalambidis, Oct 04 '18 at 20:11

I had a mistake in the XSD schema. The maven-jaxb2-plugin doesn't recognise https but only http.

I changed:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:webpage="https://www.mywebpage.com"
    targetNamespace="https://www.mywebpage.com"

To:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:webpage="http://www.mywebpage.com"
    targetNamespace="http://www.mywebpage.com"

And the generated structure is as I expected and described in my question.
