Try to wrap wsdlLocation in wsdlUrls               lt wsdlUrls gt                   lt wsdlLocation gt http   url lt  wsdlLocation gt               lt  wsdlUrls gt

The key here is keep option of wsimport  And it is configured using  element in  About keep from the wsimport documentation    -keep                     keep generated files

I see some people prefer to generate sources into the target via jaxws-maven-plugin AND make this classes visible in source via build-helper-maven-plugin  As an argument for this structure  the version management system  svn etc   would always notice changed sources  With git it is not true  So you can just configure jaxws-maven-plugin to put them into your sources  but not under the target folder  Next time you build your project  git will not mark these generated files as changed  Here is the simple solution with only one plugin         lt plugin gt           lt groupId gt org codehaus mojo lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt jaxws-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 2 6 lt  version gt        lt dependencies gt         lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org jvnet jaxb2 commons lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt jaxb2-fluent-api lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 3 0 lt  version gt         lt  dependency gt         lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt com sun xml ws lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt jaxws-tools lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 2 3 0 lt  version gt         lt  dependency gt       lt  dependencies gt        lt executions gt         lt execution gt           lt goals gt             lt goal gt wsimport lt  goal gt           lt  goals gt           lt configuration gt             lt packageName gt som path generated lt  packageName gt             lt xjcArgs gt               lt xjcArg gt -Xfluent-api lt  xjcArg gt             lt  xjcArgs gt             lt verbose gt true lt  verbose gt             lt keep gt true lt  keep gt   lt  --used by default-- gt             lt sourceDestDir gt   project build sourceDirectory  lt  sourceDestDir gt             lt wsdlDirectory gt src main resources META-INF wsdl lt  wsdlDirectory gt             lt wsdlLocation gt META-INF wsdl soap wsdl lt  wsdlLocation gt           lt  configuration gt         lt  execution gt       lt  executions gt     lt  plugin gt   Additionally  just to note  in this example SOAP classes are generated with Fluent API  so you can create them like  A a   new A      withField1 value1     withField2 value2

To generate classes from WSDL  all you need is build-helper-maven-plugin and jaxws-maven-plugin in your pom xml Make sure you have placed wsdl under folder src main resources wsdl and corresponding schema in src main resources schema  run command  quot mvn generate-sources quot  from Project root directory  C  Project root directory  gt  mvn generate-sources  generated java classes can be located under folder target generated src main java com raps code generate ws   pom xml snippet  lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org codehaus mojo lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt build-helper-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 9 lt  version gt       lt executions gt           lt execution gt               lt id gt add-source lt  id gt               lt phase gt generate-sources lt  phase gt               lt goals gt  lt goal gt add-source lt  goal gt  lt  goals gt               lt configuration gt                   lt sources gt                       lt source gt   project build directory  generated src main java lt  source gt                   lt  sources gt               lt  configuration gt           lt  execution gt       lt  executions gt   lt  plugin gt    lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org codehaus mojo lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jaxws-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 12 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt           lt wsdlDirectory gt   project basedir  src main resources wsdl lt  wsdlDirectory gt           lt packageName gt com raps code generate ws lt  packageName gt           lt keep gt true lt  keep gt           lt sourceDestDir gt   project build directory  generated src main java lt  sourceDestDir gt       lt  configuration gt       lt executions gt           lt execution gt                lt id gt myImport lt  id gt               lt goals gt  lt goal gt wsimport lt  goal gt  lt  goals gt           lt  execution gt       lt  executions gt   lt  plugin gt

i was having the same issue while generating the classes from wsimport goal  Instead of using jaxws wsimport goal in eclipse Maven Build i was using clean compile install that was not able to generate code from wsdl file  Thanks to above example  Run jaxws wsimport goal from Eclipse ide and it will work

Even though this is bit late response  may be helpful for someone  Look like you have used  pluginManagement  If you use  pluginManagement   it will not pick the plug-in execution   It should be under    lt build gt   lt plugins gt                      lt plugin gt
