hyperjaxb3 not generating files

Question

I am trying to learn hyperjaxb by studying this tutorial. I followed all of the instructions down to the heading section What was Generated?. This included the following steps:

download the Basic Project Template for Hibernate and Maven
unzip the file
install the xml and xsd files in the assigned locations
open up cmd.exe
navigate to the directory of the unzipped root folder
run mvn clean install

But nothing was generated. There is no /generated-sources/xjc directory, and there is no PurchaseOrderType.java. I did a key word search of the entire directory structure to confirm that these resources were not present after running mvn clean install. I also imported the directory structure into a new eclipse maven project and tried run as...maven clean and run as...maven build within the new Eclipse Maven project, but got the same lack of results.

What can I do to get this tutorial to produce the intended generated files?

Also, is there a better way to generate JPA entities from xsd?

Edit

As per @kapep's advice, I tried mvn generate-sources and got the following results:

I then tried mvn clean install again, and got the following results:

You can see the warning in the print screens that org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin is missing. I found the corresponding folder in the .m2 repository on my machine and deleted it, then did a maven update project from within eclipse to re-download the library. I then did another mvn clean install, and got the same lack of results. Nothing was generated, no java file, no generated-sources directory. Nothing.

What else can I try?

Second edit

The tutorial app still DOES NOT generate the intended files, however, I was able to get rid of the warning message in the print screens by changing the maven-compiler-plugin portion of the pom to the following:

<plugin>
    <inherited>true</inherited>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Note that, in addition to specifying the version, I also changed the source and target from 1.5 to 1.6, as per @Todd 's advice in this posting. I assume these refer to JDK versions. My installation uses JDK 1.6. I do not know if this is causing any problems.

What else can I try?

I never used this library but it looks like you could try to run `mvn generate-sources` directly. — kapex, Sep 05 '14 at 12:56
@kapep Thank you. I just posted a couple of print screens showing the results of trying your advice. — CodeMed, Sep 05 '14 at 16:38
@CodeMed I'm currently moving Hyperjaxb3 to GitHub. When it's done I'll make sure the tutorial works. https://github.com/highsource/hyperjaxb3 — lexicore, Sep 14 '14 at 22:26
@lexicore Are you willing to help me with this related problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26267272/configuring-hyperjaxb-to-create-hibernate-mappings-and-a-mysql-database — CodeMed, Oct 08 '14 at 22:42
Please post your `mvn clean install -X` log as well as `dir /b /s' log. (You can first redirect to a file like `mvn clean install -X > log`.) — lexicore, Oct 08 '14 at 22:49

UPDATE

Finally it appeared that the OP was looking for generated classes in the root directory of the project instead of target\generated-source\xjc, despite the tutorial clearly states where to look:

If you browse the target/generated-sources/xjc directory, you'll find few generated java files, for instance PurchaseOrderType.java.

Once again, I don't get this. Works for me.

My steps are:

Unzip hyperjaxb3-ejb-template-basic-0.6.0-maven-src.zip into some location
Put schema.xsd into src/main/resources
Put po.xml into src/test/samples
mvn clean install

And this is what I get, nice and clean:

I have no idea why it does not work for you. Pleas post mvn clean install -X and dir /b/s logs so that I could check your setup.
