I'm new with Jaxb plugin to generate models. I have 2 xsd file , where one xsd is referencing type in other xsd

common.xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
    elementFormDefault="qualified" 
    targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/schemas/common" 
    version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.example.com/schemas/common" 
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

        <xsd:complexType name="person">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element minOccurs="1" name="gender" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element minOccurs="1" name="dateOfBirth" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element minOccurs="1" name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

pupil.xsd , this has refernce to person defined in common.xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
        elementFormDefault="qualified" 
        targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/schemas/pupil" version="1.0"
        xmlns:common="http://www.example.com/schemas/common"
        xmlns="http://www.example.com/schemas/pupil" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

        <xsd:import namespace="http://www.example.com/schemas/common" schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/domain/schemas/common/common.xsd"/>

        <xsd:complexType name="student">

[ERROR] Error while parsing schema(s).Location [ http://www.example.com/domain/schemas/common/common.xsd{XXX,XX}]. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: http://www.example.com/domain/schemas/common/common.xsd; lineNumber: XXX; columnNumber: XXX; 'person' is already defined

I tried to resolve this errors using various option mentioned here, but it's help me. I think I'm doing something wrong in the binding configuration or pom configuration

Could some one point out what is wrong here
