Using wsimport in a Maven Project
Problem
You want to create a web client project using Maven 2, and you need to run wsimport as part
of the build.
Solution
Use the jaxws-maven-plugin from Java.net.
Discussion
If you're comfortable with Maven, just download the plug-in and get started at https://jax-ws-
commons.dev.java.net/jaxws-maven-plugin/ .
This plug-in started as a project at Codehaus, but in 2007 all work on it was transferred to the
Java.net website that is also home to Glassfish, Metro, OpenESB, and related projects.
The plug-in is easy to use, and works well out of the box. All you need to do is specify the
plug-in in your pom.xml, as shown in Example 6-8 .
