XSD2Java Gradle Plugin

The XSD2Java Gradle Plugin generates java classes from an existing XSD schema. For this it uses the existing ANT task.

Usage

Build script snippet for use in all Gradle versions:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'de.qaware.gradle.plugin:xsd2java-gradle-plugin:3.0.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java'

Build script snippet for new, incubating, plugin mechanism introduced in Gradle 2.1:

plugins {
    id 'de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java' version '3.0.0'
}

Tasks

The plugin defines the following tasks:

Task name	Depends on	Type	Description
xsd2java	-	XSD2JavaTask	Generates all the types as java classes from a xsd schema.

Configurations

The plugin defines the following configurations:

Configuration Name	Description
xsd2java	Used for dependencies that needed by the generated sources.
xsd2javaExtension	Used for extensions for the XJC ANT task.

Extension Properties

The plugin defines the following extension properties in the xsd2java closure:

Property name	Type	Default value	Description
schemas	Container<Xsd2JavaTaskConfig>	-	Contains the configurations for every base directory with schemas.
extension	Boolean	-	Should the ant task load extensions defined in the configuration xsd2javaExtension. Default false
arguments	List<String>	-	A list of arguments passed to the ant task
outputDir	File	-	The output directory for the generated sources.

Example

The following example show the full extension configuration:

plugins {
    id 'de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java' version '3.0.0'
}

xsd2java {
    schemas {
        dummy {
            schemaDirPath 'src/main/resources/xsd'
            packageName 'de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java.dummy.xsd'
        }
    }
    
    extension true
    arguments ['-verbose']
    outputDir "${project.buildDir}/generated-sources/xsd2java"
}

In case you are using the Kotlin DSL for you build script, the above example looks as follows:

plugins {
    id("de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java") version "3.0.0"
}

xsd2java {
    schemas {
        create("dummy") {
            schemaDirPath = file("src/main/resources/xsd").toPath()
            packageName = "de.qaware.gradle.plugin.xsd2java.dummy.xsd"
        }
    }
    
    extension = true
    arguments = listOf("-verbose")
    outputDir = file("${project.buildDir}/generated-sources/xsd2java")
}
