I finally figured out that my xmlbeans binding problem for XFire wsgen
plugin with the NPE is probably related to the fact that my xmlbeans jar
file isn't in my Maven2 pom dependencies of the XFire wsgen plugin itself
(rather than the main dependencies as I was led to believe in the example).
As soon as I added it to that dependency list, I received a new error. Is
the XFire maven2 wsgen plugin dependant on ant jars?
[xfire:wsgen {execution: default}]
