CXF Web Service Client generation in Maven failed - web-services

Question

This is my first use of Maven and I am trying to generate a client from a WSDL.
I created a Maven Project and downloaded a pom.xml file from a similar project then I ran mvn assembly:assembly command build to generate the stubs but the compilation doesn't work and it generate an error.
This is my pom.xml file

Well you could use below pom.xml

You could change cxf version based on the requirement and jdk version in properties tag. Though the version you are talking about is maven eclipse plugin (m2e), however eclipse supports maven version 3, and more over dependencies are independent of maven version.
Another point worth noting directory structure, wsdl directory in configuration is outside the classpath. In maven by default the src/main/java,src/main/resources are the classpath(this is also considered during packaging). Hence modified your cxf plugin configuration accordingly
