With 2.7, there is new annotation @JsonClassDescription, and appropriate access via AnnotationInstropector (call "findClassDescription()" or such). It would make sense to use this to get description for schema.
Ok; Jackson 2.7 has method findClassDescription() both in AnnotationIntrospector and in BasicBeanDescription. But I am not sure where to bolt that in here. PRs would be welcome.
