Running the JAXB Compiler

Use the .sh or .cmd file to run the JAXB Compiler:

<ECLIPSELINK_HOME>/eclipselink/bin/jaxb-compiler.sh <source-file.xsd> [-options]

The JAXB Compiler supports the following options:

• -d <directory> – Specifies the output directory for the generated files.

• -p <package> – Specifies the target package

• -classpath <arg> – Specifies where to find user class files

• -verbose – Enables the compiler output

• -quiet – Disables the compiler output

• -version – Displays the compiler version information

For example:

jaxb-compiler.sh -d jaxb-compiler-output config/Customer.xsd
