How to generate classes from wsdl using Maven and wsimport?

Try to wrap wsdlLocation in wsdlUrls

            <wsdlUrls>
                <wsdlLocation>http://url</wsdlLocation>
            </wsdlUrls>

Even though this is bit late response, may be helpful for someone. Look like you have used pluginManagement. If you use pluginManagement , it will not pick the plug-in execution.

It should be under

<build>
<plugins>           
        <plugin> 

Here is an example of how to generate classes from wsdl with jaxws maven plugin from a url or from a file location (from wsdl file location is commented).

                <wsdlUrls>
                    <wsdlUrl>
                        http://myWSDLurl?wsdl
                    </wsdlUrl>
                </wsdlUrls>
                <!-- or using wsdls file directory -->
                    <!-- <wsdlDirectory>src/wsdl</wsdlDirectory> -->
                <!-- which wsdl file -->
                <!-- <wsdlFiles> -->
                    <!-- <wsdlFile>myWSDL.wsdl</wsdlFile> -->
                <!--</wsdlFiles> -->
                <!-- Keep generated files -->
                <keep>true</keep> 
                <!-- Package name --> 
                <packageName>com.organization.name</packageName> 
                <!-- generated source files destination-->
                <sourceDestDir>target/generatedclasses</sourceDestDir>

        </plugin>
    </plugins>  
</build>  


To generate classes from WSDL, all you need is build-helper-maven-plugin and jaxws-maven-plugin in your pom.xml
Make sure you have placed wsdl under folder src/main/resources/wsdl and corresponding schema in src/main/resources/schema, run command "mvn generate-sources" from Project root directory.

C:/Project root directory > mvn generate-sources

generated java classes can be located under folder

target/generated/src/main/java/com/raps/code/generate/ws.
