In general, JAXB is an excellent technology. For use in Maven, I'd
foresee a few gotchas:
- For some time, JAXB has been bundled with the JRE. As of this
writing, this still applies to Java 8.
In Java 9, and 10, there's --add-modules=java.xml.bind. As of Java
11, it has
been removed from the JDK. I wouldn't want to deal with that.
- To use JAXB, one either needs to have an XSD, or rather specific
annotations on the Java beans.
I'd consider that to be a migration problem.
