Issues with maven-jaxb2-plugin

I'm attempting to generate pojos from an XML schema. Haven't gotten very
far.

Maven configuration:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.7.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

Running 'mvn clean install' on my project with this configuration yields the
following errors:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

In hopes that building my own plugin locally might yield better results I
downloaded the source code for the plugin and attempted to build (I had to
do this to get a schemagen plugin).

mvn clean install on the plugin project also gives errors:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) com.sun:tools:jar:1.5.0

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools
-Dversion=1.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file
there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools
-Dversion=1.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url]
-DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
      1) org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:maven-plugin:2.2
      2) org.jfrog.maven.annomojo:maven-plugin-tools-anno:jar:1.3.1
      3) com.sun:tools:jar:1.5.0

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
  org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:maven-plugin:2.2

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
  apache.incubating.plugins (
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository),
  apache.snapshots (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository),
  apache.incubating (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository
),
  maven2-repository.dev.java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/2),
  maven-repository.dev.java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/1)


Perhaps this is due to the fact that I'm running Mac OS X + JDK 1.5 that
does not have a tools.jar? Has anyone had success running the JAXB maven
plugins? Thus far it's been very difficult to get thesse plugins to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben Vanberg
