Hi,

I am trying to develop soap web services using Gradle with kotlin. But I am unable to get gradle jaxb2 plugin. I tried using gradle mentioned in [spring.io](http://spring.io/) site but getting issues in build.gradle.kts. Can anyone reply with gradle with kotlin exact plugin that performs same as maven plugin mention below.

**Maven plugin:**

```gradle
<plugin>
				<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
				<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>1.6</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>xjc</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>xjc</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration>
					<schemaDirectory>src/main/resources</schemaDirectory>
					<outputDirectory>src/main/java</outputDirectory>
					<clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

```

I need the same in **Gradle with kotlin**

I have tried using [https://github.com/gradle-community/jaxb2](https://github.com/gradle-community/jaxb2) but facing some errors,

For **Request-Classes** - Expression ‘‘request-classes’’ of type ‘Char’ cannot be invoked as a function. The function ‘invoke()’ is not found  
Too many characters in a character literal ‘‘request-classes’’
