How to use JAXB autoInheritance for generated classes from WSDL?

Question

I'm generating java classes from soap webservices wsdl.

The requests do not share a common interface, but I'd like them to implement one, or extend a common class.

Therefore I'm trying to use the xcj-plugin. The statement

<extraarg>-xjc-XautoInheritance-xmlRootElementsImplement=com.path.to.BaseInterface</extraarg>

should take care of this, and let all @XmlRootElement annotated classes automatically implement the defined BaseInterface.

But the generated classes are without that. No class is implementing this interface. Why? What might be wrong with the following configuration?

Please add -xjc-XautoInheritance to activate the plugin.

See the following page for CXF usage of JAXB2 Basics plugins:
