JAXB Maven plugin won't generate Java Enum

[oliverunger]

I have the following snippet in my xsd file. I would expect that it generates a Java Enum with the two elements STANDALONE and CONNECTED.

<xs:attribute name="Sample">
  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>A sample</xs:documentation>
  </xs:annotation>
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Standalone"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="Connected"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>

I'm using jaxb2-maven-plugin version 3.1.0

<plugin>

I faced the same issue. The following schema changes solved my issue:

• xmlns:jaxb="http//java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" to xmlns:jaxb="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jaxb"
• jaxb:version=2.0 to jaxb:version=3.0

@tstuber Does not change anything for me

@oliverunger I have similar issue, it looks like this is the default behaviour of xjc (if I am wrong here, please correct me).

You can still configure xjc to generate enums through binding configuration (general info). Maybe this post would be helpful?
