jaxb, xsd import not recognized

Question

I have a big problem with jaxb plugin. I have a project A where I have src/main/resources/xsd/common.xsd file. In this project I use cxf-xjc-plugin to generate java classes. I have also my episod file under src/main/resources/META-INF called sun-jaxb.episode

Next, I have project B which has maven dependency to project A. In this project I have src/main/resources/catalog.txt

PUBLIC "http://www.some_path" "maven:GROUP_ID_OF_PROJECT_A:ARTIFACT_ID_OF_PROJECT_A:jar::!/common.xsd"

In project B I have pom file with jaxb plugin

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <extension>true</extension>
                <episodes>
                    <episode>
                        <groupId>GROUP_ID_OF_PROJECT_A</groupId>
                        <artifactId>ARTIFACT_ID_OF_PROJECT_A</artifactId>
                    </episode>
                </episodes>
                <catalogs>
                    <catalog>src/main/resources/catalog.txt</catalog>
                </catalogs>
            </configuration>
 </plugin>

Next, I have in project B

 src/main/resources/other/xsd my main.xsd 

file where I use type definitions from common.xsd

I have xmlns:cmns="http://www.some_path" // it is the same as in catalog.txt and

<xs:import namespace="http://www.some_path"/> 

but the problem is that I get error undefined simple or complex type , because it doesn't recognize cmns

You must perform a mvn install of project A before the project B
