jaxb multiple class generated for same type incase of external bindings - jaxb

Question

I have following schema and corresponding bindings file. I use jaxb2 maven plugin to generate JAXB classes.
person.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="pType" type="pType" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="sex" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="1" />
<xs:element name="dob" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="1" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<!-- some more elements ignored for clarity.................
.......................... -->
<xs:complexType name="pType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="category" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="blahh" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
jaxb bindings
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="person.xsd">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[#name='pType']">
<jxb:class name="PersonType" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="person.xsd">
<jxb:bindings
node="//xs:element[#name='person']//xs:element[#name='pType']">
<jxb:class ref="PersonType" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
I have defined bindings to override the name for the <xs:complexType name="pType"> as PersonType. On XJC generation, it generates PersonType.class and PType.class.
If I define <xs:complexType name="pType"> internally inside the element <xs:element name="pType" > then it did not generate PType.class.
But I have to declare <xs:complexType name="pType"> at the root level in schema, because this xs:complexType is referenced by other schemas as well.
I tried to override for both <xs:complexType name="pType"> and <xs:element name="pType" > in bindings and yet the PType.class gets generated.
How could I instruct it not to generate PType.class ?

Answer 1

The problem was that I have 2 executions for each of the schemas (dependent schema person2.xsd and person.xsd) in maven-jaxb2-plugin. So I had manually written the episode file to reference the already created <xs:complexType name="pType"> and resolved the issue.
For the benefit of someone who has same problem, here are the plugin execution details and episode file. Please note that I did not use namespaces hence you find the scd is simple without namespace.
