Dennis, many thanks: Your approach did the trick! (I am not yet too familiar with ANT)

Is there a way to do the xmlbeans generation conditionally, i.e. only if the XSD file has changed? And then a second question: Is there a way to search in the XMLBeans user mailing list (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlbeans-user/)? There is probably some good stuff in there, but without a search capability it is difficult to get your questions answered. Thanks in advance for your help.
