Hi Gary,
> 1. Is com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb what I want for an archetype?
I cannot comment on whether a good archetype for JAXB exists, since I
personally have not used it. But perhaps this plugin is all you need:
http://www.mojohaus.org/jaxb2-maven-plugin/Documentation/v2.2/index.html
I also found this nice blog post which might be close to what you want:

The artifact com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb is not a Maven archetype—just a regular
dependency of type JAR.

You can use the maven-antrun-plugin:
