Following up....
Ultimately, it would be nice to specify arbitrary artifacts
in the pom, to avoid hacking project.properties and maven.xml.
E.g:
<artifact>
<includes>
<include>${basedir}/schemas/foo.xsd</include>
</includes>
<plugin>castor</plugin>
<properties>
<package>org.foo.bar</package>
<types>j2</types>
</properties>
</artifact>
IIRC, changes to the pom to support this kind of thing have been discussed
before, but I can't find a link ATM.
