Option to not generate the @WebService classes

[jarTaracz]

Is there a way to configure the jaxws-maven-plugin to not generate the @WebService classes? When I use xjc tool it generates @XmlType classes only (and that is what I need, but xjc tool is not an option for me anymore). For example with wsdl file given here I don't want the BookService interface and BookService_Service class to be generated. My configuration is:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.5</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>generate-test</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>wsimport</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <wsdlDirectory>${test.wsdl.dir}</wsdlDirectory>
                <wsdlFiles>
                    <wsdlFile>test.wsdl</wsdlFile>
                </wsdlFiles>
                <sourceDestDir>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDestDir>
                <packageName>${test.generated.package}</packageName>
                <encoding>utf-8</encoding>
                <xnocompile>true</xnocompile>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

no; xjc is what you need; why xjc is no longer an option for you?

Thank you for your response. The problem is that my team has agreed that the configuration of our project should be as simple as possible and should not require any additional tool installed. Also project should be prepared to migration to java 11. xjc is not included in JDK 11. Also we want to easily migrate from javax.xml.* to jakarta.xml.* packages. So jaxws-maven-plugin seems to be a perfect choice, I guess those additionally generated classes is the price we have to pay :)

there are maven plugins for xjc as well - see section 7.1.5 in the User Guide

section about jaxb-maven-plugins has been updated in the jaxb user guide, see 3rd party tools there

I've decided to use highsource maven-jaxb2-plugin. Thank you for listing those plugins in the manual. I really appreciate your help.
