Hi,

I just answered this question in the WSIT forum
<http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=206639>:

/ When I compile my WSDL I get:

[wsimport] Consider using <depends>/<produces> so that wsimport won't do
unnecessary compilation

What does it mean ? /


That actually was the first question I had when I used JAX-WS the first
time two years ago. Being very familiar with Ant I figured it out
myself. Still, this is a message almost everybody gets to see when they
are using JAX-WS. I would have expected to find some documentation in
JAX-WS but at least here I did not find anything:
https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1/docs/wsimportant.html

Kohsuke has pointed somebody in the JAX-WS forum to this web page:
https://jaxb.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1/docs/xjcTask.html

IMHO, JAXB/xjc is not something an ordinary user would look for when
wsimport issues a message. I think it would be good to document
produces/depends for JAX-WS.
