JAXB2 Namespace Prefix Plugin

Namespace Prefix Plugin

This plugin adds javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs annotations to package-info.java files.

Those annotations tells Jaxb to generate XML schema's instances with specific namespaces prefixes, instead of the auto-generated (ns1, ns2, ...) prefixes. Definition of thoses prefixes is done in the bindings.xml file.

Activation

The plugin is activated by the -XXnamespace-prefix
