Hey Jurrie, >From context you shared it seems you have an complete maven build. In fact it sounds to me like an embedded build with Yocto. ;-) If you do maven build then it also means that you can use *any* of available maven plugin to do post-processing of generated sources files. Long time ago there was maven-code-replacer-plugin, there are also ant tasks which you can use after sources are made.
By this way you will have consistent checksums and avoid troubles with CXF modifications.
