jaxws:wsimport-test

Full name:

com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-maven-plugin:3.0.0:wsimport-test

Description:

Parses wsdl and binding files and generates Java code needed to access it (for tests).

${maven.test.skip} property is honored. If it is set, code generation is skipped.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-test-sources.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description

Multiple elements can be specified, and each token must be placed in its own list.
