Well, "depends" and "produces" can't be configured with command line arguments...

I still think that you must allow users turn depends/produces on/off. In your
Mojo, you per default enable the options that were not enabled per default in
any of the XJC versions and provide no way to disable it. Ok, this may be not
four attributes, but at least boolean "depends" and "produces" are required.

Well, with mvn builds - yes. But I often execute code generation from via unit
tests. I've a unit test that invokes the Mojo to generate the files and in this
scenario I have no "clean" option.
Do you really think that "depends" and "produces" configuration attributes
turned on by default really harm usability that much?
Bye.
