I recently used maven-jaxb2-plugin to generate java classes based on xml schemas (xsd). I can run "mvn compile" on command line to generate java classes with the following configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
However, my Eclipse shows the following error:
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin:0.8.1:generate (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)
This error prevents Eclipse generating java source codes and adding the generated sources to the class path. In order to fix this problem, I need to install m2e connector for maven-jaxb2-plugin. I can manually install it to Eclipse with the following update site:
http://bitstrings.github.com/m2e-connectors-p2/milestones/
However, Eclipse provides a better to install it. Eclipse shows the problem with the following:
Roll the mouse over <execution>, it displays the following:
Click the link "Discover new m2e connector", and eclipse will try to find the correct connector automatically:
Eclipse found the same m2e connector. Click finish to install it. After I installed it successfully, Eclipse is happy with maven-jaxb2-plugin.
This approach can be applied to other plugins too.
