TL;DR: use the SchemaCompiler directly - adapting the codehaus plugin isn't yet planned, but possible.

If you want to use the JPMS repackage feature - as we do with POI now - you would need to use the SchemaCompiler directly.
I've just recently fixed our maven build to include that call:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/sonar/ooxml-schema/pom.xml?view=markup#l65

Apart of that I haven't really looked at the sources of xmlbeans-maven-plugin.
At least it's ASL licensed, so we could adapt it in our dist - with different group name.
