I currently need to generate some java sources from a wsdl with Gradle. In Maven, I’ve done this using the cxf-codegen-plugin but I want to avoid using anything that’s maven in my new build. And there’s several resources out there who will either tell you to call WSDLToJava via cxf’s ant task or directly. The ‘direct’ way still leaves you with several possibilities like calling ProcessBuilder from your Gradle Task or using a JavaExec Task. I went for the last.
