  1. Download and unzip the latest release from here.
  2. Install maven.
  3. cd to metro-jax-ws-3.0.2/jaxws-ri/bundles and run mvn install.
  4. After mvn install, read the last line of the installation process and find where jaxws-ri was installed (e.g., .m2/repository/com/sun/xml/ws/).
  5. cd to where jaxws-ri was installed and then also cd to {latest_version}/jaxws-ri/bin.
  6. Run wsimport.sh (e.g., sh wsimport.sh http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso\?WSDL)

If you're running Debian Bookworm (which is, as of this writing, at the "Debian testing" pre-release phase), and you need wsimport, install the package jaxws, which will automagically install many dependencies if you haven't already installed them. Somewhere in all that is the wsimport command. Thereafter, it worked for me, anyway, and I finally succeeded in building VirtualBox from source.

5.1. Unzip .m2\repository\com\sun\xml\ws\jaxws-ri\3.0.2\jaxws-ri-3.0.2.zip\

5.2 Add the full path to the unzipped jaxws-ri/bin to path before attempting point 6.

For example, on my machine, I added the following to path .m2\repository\com\sun\xml\ws\jaxws-ri\3.0.2\jaxws-ri-3.0.2\jaxws-ri\bin\
