JAXB: How to generate English Javadoc

in windows command line:

> SET JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
> xjc .

tested with jdk9

You can pass arbitrary properties to XJC using the args/arg element in the configuration of the maven-jaxb2-plugin:

<configuration>
    <extension>true</extension>
    <args>
        <arg>-Duser.language=en</arg>
    </args>
</configuration>

These arguments will be just passed to XJC.

However I have no idea if -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US are the right options. Anyway the args/arg will be passed to XJC. If it does not work please file an issue here.

Update

This feature is implemented in the version 0.10.0. Now you can do the following:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <locale>es</locale>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
