Generating Java Classes from an XML Schema

Use the JAXB Compiler to generate Java classes from an XML schema. The generated classes will contain JAXB annotations that represent the XML binding metadata.

Running the JAXB Compiler

Use the .sh or .cmd file to run the JAXB compiler:

<ECLIPSELINK_HOME>/eclipselink/bin/jaxb-compiler.sh <source-file.xsd> [-options]

or

<ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\eclipselink\bin\jaxb-compiler.cmd <source-file.xsd> [-options]

This table describes the available JAXB Compiler options:

JAXB Compiler Options

-d <directory>	Specifies the output directory for the generated files.
-p <package>	Specifies the target package
-classpath <arg>	Specifies where to find user class files
-verbose	Enables the compiler output
-quiet	Disables the compiler output
-version	Displays the compiler version information

Invalid language.

You need to specify a language like this: <source lang="html4strict">...</source>

-d <directory> 	        Specifies the output directory for the generated files.
-p <package> 	        Specifies the target package
-classpath <arg> 	Specifies where to find user class files
-verbose 	        Enables the compiler output
-quiet 	                Disables the compiler output
-version 	        Displays the compiler version information

For example:

jaxb-compiler.sh -d jaxb-compiler-output config/Customer.xsd
