If you want to generate the binding file manually, then don't use an
automated tool :)

The binding files tell JiBX how to map between Java and XML. They are
required for binding but not at runtime.
JiBX is essentially a black box that takes a binding file and Java class
files and outputs modified Java class files that support the JiBX API for
marshalling/unmarshalling.
The other stuff like schemagen, etc. are just additional tools used at
build time. But the ultimate and most important event is the binding
process.
