Generate @XmlNs annotations on package-info.java

[Tomas-Kraus]

I'm using xjc to generate a JAXB model from an XSD schema with multiple imported namespaces. I would like to override the default namespace prefixes (ns1, ns2, ...) used by the JAXB marshaller by sensible defaults.

This can be done by setting an xmlns property in the @XmlSchema annotation at package level in package-info.java.

However, this file is generated by xjc by default, without any prefix definitions.

Currently, the only way of overriding this behaviour seems to be:

• Manually create package-info.java.
• Run xjc with the -npa option to avoid generating package-info.java.

It would be convenient if the generated package-info.java contained @XmlNs annotations using the prefixes defined in the schema to be compiled, if present. In addition, there should be a mechanism to override the defaults by a suitable xjb customization.

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(
        (...),
        xmlns = {@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "foo", namespaceURI = "http://mysite.com/xml/foo-v1.0.xsd")},
        (...))
