XMLBeans schema compilation - scomp utility

Question

I have a set of schemas which are not JAXB compatible but are XMLBeans compatible.

According to the documentation on XMLBeans, I can use scomp to compile my schema. But I can't find this tool anywhere or documentation on its versions.

I can use a maven plugin to compile my schema but it is dependent on an older version of XMLBean (2.4 rather than 2.6).

Does anyone know what features I am missing out on/bugs in place by having my schema compiled with 2.4 rather than 2.6 and if I can use the compiled classes with the 2.6 dependency (is it backwards compatible - it appears to be?)

My question is where is the scomp utility?

Answer 1

I created this BATCH to automate the process. Hope it helps!

(in XMLBeans 2.6 you just need xbean.jar)
