How to wadl2java these days?

Question

I have real difficulty finding commandline tool to convert WADL to java. No matter how much I try to google, follow blogs or java.net doc, there is no real download link. (links are broken or obsolete).

What particular vendor, community group is supplying this tool ? Does free download link exist ?

The generated code should be able to reconstruct POJOs from XML responses and survive inside Tomcat 7. Thank you

Answer: (this works only after June 2011):

Take Apache-CXF-2.4.1.zip (not any of the earlier versions)
Extract it to root folder
Take Apache-CXF-2.4.1.src.zip
Search for folder named distribution inside src
Extract ditribution folder and merge it with no overwrites to root folder
goto bin and spot the wadl2java.bat
run wadl2java.bat from command prompt
continue with no brainer details

Just to give an update with CXF version 3.2.1 it worked for me.

Steps are

Download anywhere
Unzip
Go to /bin
Run wadl2java to get the usage
Run wadl2java -p com.x.y.z wadl-file.xml to generate your classes in current directory.

By the way I noticed that it created a class with a space in the name and also created classes with name starting with digits :)

For generating client side stubs from WADL, use a tool wadl2java. Download wadl tool from here:- http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/jvnet/ws/wadl/wadl-dist/1.1.5/wadl-dist-1.1.5-bin.zip.

For genearting client side java stubs(POJOs), use this command: \wadl2java -o .\src -p com.test.client WADL_FILE_LOCATION

If you are using maven project then you can use wadl2java maven plugin for this work.
