Is there any way to use maven to generate java classes from an XSD (similar to jaxb2-maven-plugin) but just simply generates pojos without the javax.xml annotations?

You can use XML-Beans. It is fairly easy.
How to include automatically xmlbeans generated code into maven jar?

Please refer to this for further clarification - http://blog.bdoughan.com/2012/01/how-does-jaxb-compare-to-xmlbeans.html

You can use Perl regex replacements on the xjc generated java to remove all the javax annotations and references as below:
$s =~ s/\@\w+\([^\(\)]+\)//smg; $s =~ s/\@\w+\r\n//g; $s =~ s/javax\.xml\.datatype\.XMLGregorianCalendar/java\.util\.Date/g; $s =~ s/import javax.*;\r\n//g; $s =~ s/XMLGregorianCalendar/Date/g; It is not perfect in its treatment of spaces/carriage returns between annotations, but worked for me on a commercial project to generate the POJOs I needed.
