java - hyperjaxb3 not generating files

Question

I am trying to learn hyperjaxb by studying this tutorial. I followed all of the instructions down to the heading section What was Generated?. This included the following steps:

1.) download the <a href="http://confluence.highsource.org/display/HJ3/Downloads">Basic Project Template for Hibernate and Maven</a>
2.) unzip the file
3.) install the xml and xsd files in the assigned locations
4.) open up `cmd.exe`
5.) navigate to the directory of the unzipped root folder
6.) run mvn clean install  

But nothing was generated. There is no /generated-sources/xjc directory, and there is no PurchaseOrderType.java. I did a key word search of the entire directory structure to confirm that these resources were not present after running mvn clean install. I also imported the directory structure into a new eclipse maven project and tried run as...maven clean and run as...maven build within the new eclipse maven project, but got the same lack of results.

What can I do to get this tutorial to produce the intended generated files?

Also, is there a better way to generate JPA entities from xsd??

EDIT:

As per @kapep's advice, I tried mvn generate-sources and got the following results:

I then tried mvn clean install again, and got the following results:

You can see the warning in the print screens that org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin is missing. I found the corresponding folder in the .m2 repository on my machine and deleted it, then did a maven update project from within eclipse to re-download the library. I then did another mvn clean install, and got the same lack of results. Nothing was generated, no java file, no generated-sources directory. Nothing.

What else can I try?

SECOND EDIT:

The tutorial app still DOES NOT generate the intended files, however, I was able to get rid of the warning message in the print screens by changing the maven-compiler-plugin portion of the pom to the following:

<plugin>
    <inherited>true</inherited>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>  

Note that, in addition to specifying the version, I also changed the source and target from 1.5 to 1.6, as per @Todd 's advice in this posting. I assume these refer to JDK versions. My installation uses JDK 1.6. I do not know if this is causing any problems.

What else can I try?

Answer 1

UPDATE

Finally it appeared that the OP was looking for generated classes in the root directory of the project instead of targetgenerated-sourcexjc, despite the tutorial clearly states where to look:

If you browse the target/generated-sources/xjc directory, you'll find few generated java files, for instance PurchaseOrderType.java.

Once again, I don't get this. Works for me.

My steps are:

• Unzip hyperjaxb3-ejb-template-basic-0.6.0-maven-src.zip into some location
• Put schema.xsd into src/main/resources
• Put po.xml into src/test/samples
• mvn clean install

And this is what I get, nice and clean:

I have no idea why it does not work for you. Pleas post mvn clean install -X and dir /b/s logs so that I could check your setup.
