Hi.

Much more further developed and better supported is
maven-jaxb2-plugin. The project is very active and has more features.
See
https://maven-jaxb2-plugin.dev.java.net/
Current version is 0.4.M3, comes with JAXB RI 2.1.5.

JAXB 2.1.5 is in there. It is distributed via Maven1 dev.java.net repo:
http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.bind/jars/
See
https://maven-jaxb2-plugin.dev.java.net/ for details on how to
bind this repo to your project.

1. The plugin you want to use must be available as a maven artifact.
2. Include the JAXB plugin artifact in configuration using the plugins/plugin
3. Add appropriate arguments to args/arg.
4. If generated code has some additional dependencies, add them to the
dependencies of your project so that the project would compile
allright.
Here's an example:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<args>
<arg>-XtoString</arg>
<arg>-Xequals</arg>
<arg>-XhashCode</arg>
<arg>-Xcopyable</arg>
</args>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>basic</artifactId>
<version>0.2.GA</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I'll add this to plugin documentation as well.
ps. value-constructor is not a Maven project. fluent-api is a maven
project, but I don't see if it's available from any maven repo.
default value is not a maven project. commons-lang-plugin is a Maven
project but I don't see it in any of the repos. So if you really want
to use these, you'll have to install the manually.
For toString/equals/hashCode/copyable plugins see the example above.
org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:basic implements these JAXB plugins.
Bye.
