Import namespace - Cannot resolve the name to a(n) 'type definition' component
Ok figured out the work-around:
I moved all the dependent xsd's (that the problematic xsd's references) plus a bunch of other un-used xsds to a separate folder and then re-generated code using maven - it works now. It appears that there was some namespace conflict with one of the other un-used xsd's i haven't yet pointed out the specific one.

Context: I am generating java classes from xsd files using maven-jaxb plugin. All my .xsd files are in a single location - src/main/resource directory.
Problem: Everything works fine when xsd's don't reference/import other xsd's with a different target namespace. However when the following xsd below (with targetNamespace="http://www.companyA.com/someservice") imports another xsd filename.xsd from a different namespace (namespace="http://www.companyB.com/"), I get the above error: Cannot resolve the name xxx to a(n) 'type definition' component.
Edit: the element name in the current xsd file is 'entityName', and its type is "companyB:entityName" (i.e.) the names are the same.
I then tried invoking xjc on this file from the command line and this generated Java classes correctly. I also made sure that in Eclipse, I am able to ctrl-click/examine source on "type="companyCdm:entityName", which correctly opens the filename.xsd file. However for some reason maven is unable to get to it.
Question: What am I missing? Why is this case (2 namespaces) different from dealing with a single namespace?
Here is my XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns="http://www.companyA.com/someservice" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:companyB="http://www.companyB.com/version" targetNamespace="http://www.companyA.com/someservice" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="qualified"> <xsd:import namespace="http://www.companyB.com/version" schemaLocation="filename.xsd" /> <xsd:element name="MyName" type="MyType" /> <xsd:complexType name="MyType"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation> A list </xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="entityName" type="companyB:entityName" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema>
