How to generate classes from wsdl using Maven and wsimport?

Question

When I attempt to run "mvn generate-sources" this is my output :

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

I do not receive any errors but there are no java classes generated from the wsdl file.

Here is my pom.xml file that I'm running the plugin against :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

                                <goal>wsimport</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <wsdlLocation>http://mysite/firstwsdl.asmx?wsdl</wsdlLocation>
                                <packageName>com</packageName>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </pluginManagement>
    </build>

</project>

What am I doing wrong ? The package com exists in the project 'gensourcesfromwsdl' and the wsdl location is valid.

When I run wsimport via the command line : >wsimport -keep -verbose http://mysite/firstwsdl.asmx?wsdl the class is generated.

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.
