Error: Not supported: indent-number when using jaxb2-maven-plugin with jdk8
<p>I have a project that was compiled with java6. It uses jaxb2-maven-plugin to generate XSD for web services.</p>

<p>I am trying to port this project to compile/run with java8. In order to do that, I upgraded the jaxb2-maven-plugin version from 1.3.1 to 2.2</p>

<p>however when I build my project using "mvn clean install" I get the following error:</p>

<pre><code>--
[INFO] XSD post-processing: Adding JavaDoc annotations in generated XSDs.

</code></pre>

<p>I googled for this error and found that it was due to the old java6 having shipped with xalan transformer that supported this. But I am not sure how to fix this as I am using the plugin and not doing any transformation in my own code.</p>

<p>any help appreciated.</p>
