## Using JiBX with test cases

### Generate code and bind schema in test cases with JiBX .

The code generation module needs to be bound to the process-test-classes phase and the binding module need to be bound to the process-test-classes phase.

Remember to include the generated test sources in your test compiler source classpath.

Here is a sample pom.xml that runs the code generator and the binding compiler in the testing phase: (Note the use of the build-helper-maven-plugin to add the generated sources to the classpath)
