Compilation failure while executing wsgen task using maven 3.0.3

I am trying to get the NHIN-Direct Secure email gateway to compile. One of the projects craps out with the following error.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:jaxws-maven-plugin:1.12:wsgen (default) on project config-service: Execution default of goal org.codehaus.mojo:jaxws-maven-plugin:1.12:wsgen failed: Plugin org.codehaus.mojo:jaxws-maven-plugi

I have trolled countless forums which tell me sun messed up majorly in managing the revisions for jaxws-maven-plugin version 1.12. But I haven't come across a site that helps me correct my pom file. Here's the pom file. What am I doing wrong?

I tried switching the version of jaxws-maven-plugin 1.12 to 1.10 and it went past this error.

The dependency com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-tools:jar:2.1.7 really resides at http://download.java.net/maven/1, but based on the POM you've posted, there is only http://download.java.net/maven/2 plugin repository defined, which supplies jaxws-tools from version 2.2 onwards.

Therefore, try to add a second pluginRepository into pluginRepositories:

    <pluginRepository>
        <url>http://download.java.net/maven/1</url>
        <id>Java dot Net 1</id>
        <layout>legacy</layout>
        <name>Repository for JAX-WS tools</name>
    </pluginRepository>
