Since wsimport is not included since JDK11 (Where to download and how to install JAX-WS wsimport tools?), I think I need to install metro-jax-ws; however, there are no instructions on how to do so...

  • It is generally adviced to use a build system like maven, which has excellent plugin support for generating WSDL to Java (`jaxws-maven-plugin` or `maven-jaxb2-plugin`). This means no more manual `wsimport` calls on every WSDL change, reducing possible developer error and the need for specialized tools. See for example the "post JDK8" part on https://www.baeldung.com/jax-ws#1-generating-web-service-source-files-from-wsdl – slindenau Jul 20 '22 at 12:53

  1. Download and unzip the latest release from here.
  2. Install maven.
  3. cd to metro-jax-ws-3.0.2/jaxws-ri/bundles and run mvn install.
  4. After mvn install, read the last line of the installation process and find where jaxws-ri was installed (e.g., .m2/repository/com/sun/xml/ws/).
  5. cd to where jaxws-ri was installed and then also cd to {latest_version}/jaxws-ri/bin.
  6. Run wsimport.sh (e.g., sh wsimport.sh http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso\?WSDL)

  • Thanks for these tips, Jack, but there's still no `wsimport` for me, alas. Under Debian bookworm (now "testing"), I attempted to build Virtualbox from source, a process that requires, among many other things, `wsimport`. I followed your instructions but I broke down on `mvn install`:: `[WARNING] The POM for com.sun.xml.ws:project:zip:resources:4.0.0-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available` – Steve Newcomb Jul 31 '22 at 16:11

If you're running Debian Bookworm (which is, as of this writing, at the "Debian testing" pre-release phase), and you need wsimport, install the package jaxws, which will automagically install many dependencies if you haven't already installed them. Somewhere in all that is the wsimport command. Thereafter, it worked for me, anyway, and I finally succeeded in building VirtualBox from source.

5.1. Unzip .m2\repository\com\sun\xml\ws\jaxws-ri\3.0.2\jaxws-ri-3.0.2.zip\

5.2 Add the full path to the unzipped jaxws-ri/bin to path before attempting point 6.

For example, on my machine, I added the following to path .m2\repository\com\sun\xml\ws\jaxws-ri\3.0.2\jaxws-ri-3.0.2\jaxws-ri\bin\
