maven jaxb2 plugin is generating nothing

Question

It's not clear to me if I'm able to use maven-jaxb2-plugin on a jdk11 maven project.

My pom.xml and mvn are using jdk11.

I know jaxb is not distributed with jdk 11.

I'm trying to generate code from wsdl:

           <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>0.14.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>generate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

                <configuration>
                    <schemaLanguage>WSDL</schemaLanguage>
                    <generateDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java/generated-sources/kenexa</generateDirectory>
                    <generatePackage>com.baeldung.springsoap.client.gen</generatePackage>
                    <schemaDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</schemaDirectory>
                    <noFileHeader>true</noFileHeader>
                    <schemaIncludes>
                        <include>*.wsdl</include>
                    </schemaIncludes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

I'm getting:

$ mvn generate-sources   
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

```

Any ideas?

The timestamps in the Maven message indicate that the more recently modified file in `src/main/resources` is older than the last recently modified file in `src/main/java/generated-sources/kenexa/com/...`, so XJC is not run. — Piotr P. Karwasz, Jan 13 '21 at 19:42
Should work if you do maven clean and then Maven generate sources — Wrapper, Nov 22 '21 at 20:33

We too faced a similar issue with maven wrapper + maven-jaxb2-plugin (0.14.0) + jdk 11 combinations. Somehow the generated classes were based on the old XSD file though the latest ones were in the schemaDirectory location. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Upgrading the maven-jaxb2-plugin to 0.15.3 seems to fix it for us.
