Hi Gary, > 1. Is com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb what I want for an archetype?
I cannot comment on whether a good archetype for JAXB exists, since I personally have not used it. But perhaps this plugin is all you need: http://www.mojohaus.org/jaxb2-maven-plugin/Documentation/v2.2/index.html I also found this nice blog post which might be close to what you want: http://memoverkill.com/2013/09/02/jaxb-maven-xml/ > 2. What's wrong with the above mvn command to generate the project? The artifact com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb is not a Maven archetype—just a regular dependency of type JAR. > 3. Pointers to how to convert a custom ant task into a maven goal? You can use the maven-antrun-plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/ Regards, Curtis -- Curtis Rueden LOCI software architect - http://loci.wisc.edu/software ImageJ2 lead, Fiji maintainer - http://imagej.net/User:Rueden On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 6:02 PM, Gary Aitken <ma...@dreamchaser.org> wrote: > Trying to convert an old project from using ant to maven; having > issues getting off the ground.
