hi! I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-362 for removing the maven plugin from xbean.
Please should out if one is still using it (which I doubt). Afaiu the maven-xbean-plugin exists to create spring XML definitions for spring 2. This is stone old and not a supported spring environment for more than a decade. We should imo just remove it. It is btw also named wrongly. Since around 2008 a convention exists that only Maven own plugins should be named maven-*-plugin. Other projects should use project-maven-plugin as naming scheme. LieGrue, strub
