We've added support for maven build automation. A pom.xml file in the root defines how to generate Java classes from the XSD files in this project. To generate you Java classes, open your terminal app and change to the directory containing the pom.xml file and run the following command

mvn clean install 

A new target directory will be created along with subfolders. Look in the generated-source subfolder for your Java classes.

Please Note These XSD schemas are provided as a guide for the XML that is read/written to the Xero API 'as is' for information purposes only.

Xero does not commit to ensuring these schemas are always kept up to date, but does accept contributions and amendments to ensure they are as accurate as possible.
