Issue with Javax Bean Validation

[Dignity93]

I'm using codehaus.mojo jaxws-magen-plugin in version 2.6 to generate my wsdl, goal is set to "wsgen":

       <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <configuration>
          <sei>MyWS</sei>
          <genWsdl>true</genWsdl>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>wsgen</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

I also use Javax Bean Validation for validation purposes. Now when i'm setting a "groups" Attribute on an existing Annotation (like @NotNull) everything is perfectly fine. But when i'm setting a "groups" Attribute on a self-written Constraint-Annotation, i get following Exception durcing compilation with maven:

When i either remove the plugin during maven build process or the "groups" attribute from self-written annotations, everything works like a charm.

I already asked an associcated question on Stackoverflow, for more details look up here.

Furthermore i'm working on Java 8 with maven 3.3.9 and on WIN10.
