jaxws-maven-plugin multiple executions not working

Question

I'd like to generate java classes for multiple WSDLs. Due to name conflicts in the different schemas, each WSDL should be in one java package. I created the following executions in my pom.xml:

  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.5</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>service1</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>wsimport</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <wsdlUrls>
              <wsdlUrl>http://myserver/service1?wsdl</wsdlUrl>
            </wsdlUrls>
            <keep>false</keep>
            <sourceDestDir>target/generatedclasses</sourceDestDir>
            <packageName>com.myservice1</packageName>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
        <execution>
          <id>service2</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>wsimport</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <wsdlUrls>
              <wsdlUrl>http://myserver/service2?wsdl</wsdlUrl>
            </wsdlUrls>
            <keep>false</keep>
            <sourceDestDir>target/generatedclasses</sourceDestDir>
            <packageName>com.myservice2</packageName>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

But obviously the WSDL location can not be found:

I don't understand, why this example isn't working. It seems that the configuration is valid (see Multiple WSDLs Configurations With Maven JAXWS)

If I move the configuration element two levels up it works! (But I can only configure one execution...)

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.5</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>wsimport</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
      <configuration>
        <wsdlUrls>
          <wsdlUrl>http://myserver/service1?wsdl</wsdlUrl>
        </wsdlUrls>
        <keep>false</keep>
        <sourceDestDir>target/generatedclasses</sourceDestDir>
        <packageName>com.myservice1</packageName>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Any ideas for a solution are strongly appreciated!

(P.S. Java 8, Maven 3.6.2)

Answer 1

The solution was to run the "install" Lifecycle rather than the plugin jaxws:import directly.
