Question

I’m using jaxb to generate java object class from xml schemas within an Ant script like so:

<!-- JAXB compiler task definition -->
<taskdef name="xjc" classname="com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCTask"
                    classpathref="master-classpath"/>

<!-- Generates the source code from the ff.xsd schema using jaxb -->
<target name="option-generate" description="Generates the source code">
    <mkdir dir="${generated-src.dir}/${option.dir}"/>
    <xjc schema="${config.dir}/ff.xsd" destdir="${generated-src.dir}"
         package="${option.package.name}">
        <arg value="-Xcommons-lang" />
        <arg value="-Xcommons-lang:ToStringStyle=SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE" />
        <produces dir="${generated-src.dir}" includes="**/*.java" />
    </xjc>
</target>

Now, this works brilliantly for one schema (ff.xsd in this example). How can I process several schemas (i.e. several xsd files)?

I tried having a separate ant task per schema, but somehow, this doesn’t work as Ant process the first task and then says that the “files are up to date” for the following schemas!

<target name="process-resources" description="Process resources">
    <taskdef name="xjc" classname="com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCTask"/>
    <xjc destdir="${basedir}/target/generated-sources/jaxb"
         extension="true">
        <schema dir="src/main/xsd" 
                includes="JaxbBindings.xsd,CoreTypes.xsd"/>
    </xjc>
</target>
