I have a project which generates java classes with jaxb from xsd schema.
the pom contains
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xjc</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<!-- The package of your generated sources -->
<packageName>com.melexis.mfgdil.b2mml</packageName>
<sources>
<source>src/main/schema/AllSchemas.xsd</source>
</sources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
When I type mvn clean install the java sources are generated from the
xsd files into target/generated-sources/jaxb, compiled and end up in target/classes, great!
When I dare to immediately run mvn install again, without changing anything, I see :

the target/classes folder is wiped and all classes from the target/generated-sources are gone and only the single class from the single java source file in my src/main/java tree is left.
I do not get why maven detects changes, and I get even less that it then recompiles the module, but forgets the generated-sources. What am I forgetting?
