Maven - have XSD as a dependency

Question

We have one project that defines the message formats that it creates with XSD files.

What is the easiest way to make these XSD files dependent on another project?

I was looking to use the maven-build-helper attach-artifact target to attach my XSD files.

Is there a better mechanism?

Answer 1

I do not know the purpose of the attached artifact, but I did what you requested. I had wsdl and xsd files for writing Webservice artifacts and their client artifacts with 2 axis.

• I put my wsdl and xsd in my own project called "wsdl" src / main / resources / META-INF and nothing else.
• "" Java-SOAP-. wsdl wsdl xsd maven-dependency-plugin -. SOAP-.
• , Webservice .
