jaxws-maven-plugin not picked up for generating sources

We have a project which generates java classes from a .wsdl file. Our jenkins server successfully compiles the project from scratch but our Eclipse IDE configuration requires extra maven lifecycle mapping plugin com.coderplus.m2e.jaxws.

VS Code seems not to be picking up the plugin to generate the wsimport sources.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows
• JDK version: JDK 8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.24.1
• Java extension version: 0.26

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open maven project with jaxws-maven-plugin configured
2. Wait until java language server finishes
3. Expect target/generated-sources/ folder

Current Result

${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/wsimport is not created

Expected Result

wsimport sources are generated

Reproduce the issue by opening a Maven project configured with org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons:jaxws-maven-plugin and waiting for the Java language server to finish. Trace the Maven project import and lifecycle handling for the wsimport goal, using the target/generated-sources/wsimport path as the expected output. Done means the WSDL generates sources in that directory in VS Code without extra Eclipse-only mapping.
