Maven JAXB Generated Classes not in Eclipse Classpath [message #646994]

Hi,

I'm using the maven-jaxb2-plugin from org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 to generate model objects. The plugin successfully parses my XSD, generates the Java Source (in target/generated-sources/xjc), compiles, and packages the class files in a JAR file.

Using just Maven, the project builds fine. Maven knows about the generated classes.

However in Eclipse (using the Sonatype Maven integration plugin), the generated classes aren't in the Eclipse classpath. Eclipse reds the generated class imports.

I had to edit the Eclipse classpath to include target/generated-sources/xjc so Eclipse resolves generated classes, but I do not think its a good idea to put target directories in the classpath.

How do I get Eclipse to recognize the generated classes?

Here is my POM:

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

            <configuration>                     
              <schemaDirectory>${basedir}/source/main/resources</schemaDirectory>
              <localRepository></localRepository>       
              <schemaIncludes>                          
                <include>app.configuration.xsd</include>        
              </schemaIncludes>                         
              <args>                                    
                <param>-npa</param>                             
              </args>                                   
              <npa>true</npa>                           
              <removeOldOutput>true</removeOldOutput>   
              <verbose>false</verbose>                  
            </configuration>                    
          </execution>                  
        </executions>           
      </plugin>

What I did to solve this problem was to add target/generated-sources/xjc as a Source directory in the Eclipse project's Java Build Path (not Eclipse's classpath). I'm not sure this is ideal, but it works.

If anyone has a better solution, please post.

Anyone have a better solution for Eclipse? I took the same approach of adding target/generated-sources/xjc to the java build path. But after doing a clean, Eclipse can't build because it is missing a source directory.

In command line:
1. mvn eclipse:clean
2. mvn eclipse:eclispe
In eclipse:
1. refresh your project (click rmb and choose refresh)
(optionaly clean project)
Done
