To generate Java sources from a single XML schema named schema.xsd (located at the default location, i.e. src/main/castor) using the Maven plugin for Castor, simply define a plugin configuration as follows:
<project> ... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>castor-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <configuration> <schema>src/main/castor/schema.xsd</schema> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> ... </build> ... </project>
