But if the metadata classes were not annotated at all, it would not make much
difference for the users. If they wanted to annotated them for his own schema,
he would need to edit the source code anyway (putting his own annotations). So
no matter if the classes are annotated or not, the user needs to modify the
source code if he wants his own annotations. Or do I'm missing something?
Sure being limited a single version is a limitation compared to gtxml. But
again
I'm not pushing for a replacement of gtxml. This is about enabling (not
forcing)
a serialization mechanism.

I'm fine with that.

Seing JAXB being a cause of a shock was surprising. The reaction seems out of
proportion compared to the implication. The objections were: it would prevent
other annotations like Hibernate, introduce more dependencies, force the usage
of a particular technology, etc. We could debate if those objections were true.
But since they are not accurate, effectiveley if leave room for more emotional
than rational debates.
