I think, Gregory, you could make a separate module to produce the
testing jaxb bindings, and then add this artifact with
'scope'='testing'.

Is there something wrong with the approach i'm suggesting?

You see, i cannot remember a maven plugin with the requested behavior
and i'm suspecting that this is for a reason. It maybe that, since you
attach to test-classes, all kinds of new functionality is required,
so...
