Never mind, upon looking at the code, I see it's the same thing.
The JAR size is fairly unpleasant, but it's only twice as big as
Castor, so it's not a huge deal.
I don't like the XMLBeans generated code much in comparison. For
an element like "EJB Ref", Castor generates a getter and a setter for each
"String" property and each child element. XMLBeans generates 4-8 methods
per property, plus 18 factory methods to create the bean. It seems fairly
unfriendly. Is there some way to force it to drop all the extras and just
give 2 methods per property and no factories? Or are those required for
the extra features?
