JAXB support ?

[Radhakrishnan J <ra...@tavant.com>]

Hi,

The -jaxb commandline option of the
org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.SchemaCompiler doesn't seem to work. I get the
following exception when I try to use it -

Also, the 'jaxb-api.jar' thats referred to in the 'jaxbc.cmd' script is not
part of the distribution. Is this a shortcoming or am I missing something ?

I'm doing an exercise of evaluating XmlBeans for Java-XML binding, in
comparison to Castor. Amongst the other differences, one such difference is
the fact that XmlBeans supports JAXB. However, I am not able to get the jaxb
compilation going.

Thanks,
Radhakrishnan
