Required Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
outputDirectory	File	-	The working directory where the generated Java source files are created. Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/jaxb.
schemaDirectory	File	-	The directory for XML Schema files (XSDs). Default value is: ${basedir}/src/main/xsd.
staleFile	File	-	The location of the flag file used to determine if the output is stale. Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/jaxb2/.xjcStaleFlag.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
arguments	String	-	Space separated string of extra arguments, for instance -Xfluent-api -episode somefile; These will be passed on to XJC as "-Xfluent-api" "-episode" "somefile" options.
bindingDirectory	File	-	The directory for JAXB binding files. Default value is: ${basedir}/src/main/xjb.
bindingFiles	String	-	List of files to use for bindings, comma delimited. If none, then all xjb files are used in the bindingDirectory.
catalog	File	-	Catalog file to resolve external entity references support TR9401, XCatalog, and OASIS XML Catalog format.
clearOutputDir	boolean	-	Clears the output directory on each run. Defaults to 'true' but if false, will not clear the directory. Default value is: true.
dtd	boolean	-	Treat input schemas as XML DTD (experimental, unsupported). Default value is: false.
explicitAnnotation	boolean	-	Allow generation of explicit annotations that are needed for JAXB2 to work on RetroTranslator. Default value is: false.
extension	boolean	-	Allow to use the JAXB Vendor Extensions. Default value is: false.
failOnNoSchemas	boolean	1.3	Fails the mojo if no schemas are found. Default value is: true.
generatedResourcesDirectory	File	-	The optional directory where generated resources can be placed, generated by addons/plugins.
httpproxy	String	-	Set HTTP/HTTPS proxy. Format is [user[:password]@]proxyHost[:proxyPort]
includeSchemasOutputPath	String	-	The output path to include in your jar/war/etc if you wish to include your schemas in your artifact.
npa	boolean	-	Suppress generation of package level annotations (package-info.java). Default value is: false.
nv	boolean	-	Do not perform strict validation of the input schema(s). Default value is: false.
packageName	String	-	The package in which the source files will be generated.
quiet	boolean	-	Suppress compiler output. Default value is: false.
readOnly	boolean	-	Generated files will be in read-only mode. Default value is: false.
relaxng	boolean	-	Treat input schemas as RELAX NG (experimental, unsupported). Default value is: false.
relaxngCompact	boolean	-	Treat input as RELAX NG compact syntax (experimental,unsupported). Default value is: false.
schemaFiles	String	-	List of files to use for schemas, comma delimited. If none, then all xsd files are used in the schemaDirectory. Note: you can only use either the 'schemaFiles' or the 'schemaListFileName' option (you may not use both at once!).
schemaListFileName	String	-	A filename containing the list of files to use for schemas, comma delimited. If none, then all xsd files are used in the schemaDirectory. Note: you can only use either the 'schemaFiles' or the 'schemaListFileName' option (you may not use both at once!).
target	String	1.3	Avoid generating code that relies on any current JAXB 2.x features. This will allow the generated code to run with earlier JAXB 2.x runtime.
verbose	boolean	-	Be extra verbose. Default value is: false.
wsdl	boolean	-	Treat input as WSDL and compile schemas inside it (experimental,unsupported). Default value is: false.
