This is a known bug. Here is the solution with explanation: http://blogiterox.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/exploring-apache-axis2-and-ec lipse-plug-in-development/
Solution: Copy the jar for stax and for backport to the plug-in directory (<Eclipse>\plug-ins\<Axis2 code generator>\lib) and then add the backport jar to the plugin.xml file. ________________________________ From: Michael [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 9:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Axis2 Code Generator Problem I'm developing a bottom up web service and now that I have got it working using the code I developed and the client stub generated when I created the web service from Eclipse I now want to create a WSDL file. When I launch the Axis2 Code Generator (v1.3.0) Wizard, enter the fully qualified class name and the location of the class file and then select the button to test loading the class I keep getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
