JAXB2 Basics simplify plugin throws "Cannot find the declaration of element 'simplify:property'" exception

Question

I'm trying to use the jaxb2 basics "simplify" plugin but I'm always receiving the following exception...

[INFO] --- jaxws-maven-plugin:2.2:wsimport (default) @ dsmlv2-jaxws ---

I have a jaxb bindings.xml file that looks like this...

<bindings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
   xmlns:simplify="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify" jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc simplify" jaxb:version="2.1">

   <jaxb:bindings>
      <jaxb:globalBindings typesafeEnumMaxMembers="2000">
         <xjc:simple />
         <xjc:serializable uid="456" />
      </jaxb:globalBindings>
   </jaxb:bindings>

   <jaxb:bindings scd="x-schema::tns" xmlns:tns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
      <jaxb:schemaBindings>

      </jaxb:schemaBindings>
      <jaxb:bindings scd="~tns:BatchRequest">
         <simplify:property name="fooOrBar">
            <simplify:as-element-property />
         </simplify:property>
      </jaxb:bindings>
   </jaxb:bindings>

</bindings>

In my pom, i'm trying to compile my WSDL using cxf-codegen-plugin and the jaxws-maven-plugin. It doesn't matter which one I use, i get the same exception about using in the jaxb bindings file. The plugin is configured as follows...

You're hitting JAXB-1047 - SCD bindings do not support custom/vendor customization elements.

There is no workaround but to use XPath binding instead.
