Maven cxf-codegen-plugin does not generate source

Question

I've researched other answers to this question but I haven't been able to fix my specific issue yet. I'm trying to generate source client java files using Maven and the cxf-codegen-plugin. When I run mvn generate-sources it tells me BUILD SUCCESS but Nothing to generate. Any help is appreciated. Here is my pom:

Answer 1

The Maven XML tags for the CXF plugin are case sensitive, this should work:

<configuration>
    <sourceRoot>${basedir}/src/main/java</sourceRoot>
    <wsdlOptions>
        <wsdlOption>
            <wsdl>${basedir}/src/main/resources/HostavailableService.wsdl</wsdl>
            <extraargs>
                <extraarg>-verbose</extraarg>
                <extraarg>-client</extraarg>
            </extraargs>
        </wsdlOption>
    </wsdlOptions>
</configuration>

Answer 2

Also have a look to your ./target/-Folder. Once the code-generation has run successfully, you can find here the Folder cxf-codegen-plugin-markers. You have to delete this folder, to force CXF to run the code-generation again.
