-Xjaxbindex plugin from JAXB commons does not work with the xew plugin

[bertramn]

I recently added -Xjaxbindex to the xjc schema compiler and noticed that the generated jaxb.index file still contains the public wrapper classes that xew discharges. A quick look in the jaxb index plugin source suggest around line 28 that it is using the overall xjc outline that is passed through the plugins. I did add the -Xjaxbindex arg after the -Xxew arg in the XJC compiler but it seems xew is not removing the classes it deletes in the generated code from the outline, hence the jaxb index plugin producing a wrong index file.

That's how jaxb index plugin decides what goes into the jaxb.index file:

for (final ClassOutline classOutline : packageOutline.getClasses()) {
...
}

Is that hard to fix?

Thanks for report.

Well, Xew should do it, at least it attempts to clean up. Perhaps there is still some bug.
You will save my time if you could make a simple maven-based project that demonstrates the problem and share it somehow. You can take any from examples as bases. Most logical would be to run -Xjaxbindex after -Xxew. Let me know what do you expect in jaxb.index file.

I have analyzed the sources of JaxbIndexPlugin and I found the place how Xew can be improved. Please, try the latest SNAPSHOT.
