Maven jaxb2 plugin - Generate class from XSD Schema with custom bindings file

In a previous post (http://trabajosdesisifo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/generate-classes-from-xsd-xmlrootelement.html) I talked about how to generate java classes from XSDs and WSDLs files. When I worked with XSD Schema files I was using org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 / maven-jaxb2-plugin, now I post the equivalent with org.codehaus.mojo / maven-jaxb2-plugin a newer version.

My XSD and XJB files are located under /src/main/resources/META-INF/xsd/consultaVersion directory.
File consultaVersion.xsd:

<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="aplicacion">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element type="xs:string" name="nombre"/>
        <xs:element type="xs:string" name="version"/>
        <xs:element type="xs:date" name="fecha"/>
        <xs:element type="xs:string" name="observaciones"/>
        <xs:element type="xs:anyURI" name="urlDescarga"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

File bindings.xjb:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<jaxb:bindings version="2.1" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
 xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

 <jaxb:globalBindings generateIsSetMethod="true" localScoping="toplevel">
  <jaxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:dateTime" parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime" printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDateTime" />
 </jaxb:globalBindings>


 <jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="consultaVersion.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
  <jaxb:schemaBindings>
   <jaxb:package name="es.sisifo.myproject.framework.service.versionado.dto" />
  </jaxb:schemaBindings>
 </jaxb:bindings>

</jaxb:bindings>

Note that with this binding file dateTime fields are converted to java Calendar type.

And this is my pom.xml:
