Because the schemagen tool from JAXB is not part of JDK 11 anymore, i wanted to setup a project using gradle which provides the functionality of the schemagen tool via the available ant task. Although, i got it running the ant task does not behave as expected. Especially the created schema does not match the source code annotations.
Furthermore, there is always an exception thrown, which i could not solve.
I use JDK 11, Gradle 5.4.1 and JAXB in version 2.3.2 on a windows 10 machine with a bash shell.
The project looks like this (A gradle java project):
Movie.java inside src/main/java/movie:
package movie;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
@XmlRootElement
public class Movie {
@XmlElement
public String name;
@XmlAttribute
public String genre;
}
build.gradle:
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'application'
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
configurations {
schemagen
}
dependencies {
implementation group: 'org.glassfish.jaxb', name: 'jaxb-runtime', version: '2.3.2'
schemagen group: 'org.glassfish.jaxb', name: 'jaxb-jxc', version: '2.3.2'
}
def srcDir = file("src/main/java/movie")
def schemaDir = file("$buildDir/schema")
task schemagen {
doLast {
ant.taskdef(name: 'schemagen', classname: 'com.sun.tools.jxc.SchemaGenTask', classpath: configurations.schemagen.asPath)
schemaDir.mkdirs()
ant.schemagen(
srcdir: srcDir,
destdir: schemaDir,
includeAntRuntime: false,
debug: true,
verbose: true)
}
}
Now, when i run gradle schemagen --stacktrace, the following output is on the console:

(I shortened the output regading file system paths and unnecessary information)
Although the task fails, a schema is created, schema1.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="movie">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="genre" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
And here the @XmlAttribute-Annotation is ignored, the genre is simply included as an element.
I would have expected something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="movie">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="genre" type="xs:boolean" use="required"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Has anyone succeeded in setting up a project like this and got a valid schema from the schemagen ant task?
