[Java] Generate POJO from XSD in Maven

Assuming you have a nice correct XSD file with proper namespace references and all, then you could convert it to a POJO (or more) using jaxb-maven-plugin

There are multiple plugins that would achieve the same result and multiple versions of this plugin even, so searching on the web can be confusing. In year 2024, this works simply with adding a plugin in the POM:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxb-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.8</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>NAME_FOR_THIS_RUN</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>generate</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/FOLDER/USE_CASE</schemaDirectory> <!-- here will be the XSD -->
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
