The static methods on Marshaller/Unmarshaller is what we're currently
using. [ I didn't know that the generated code contained marshal
methods, but now that you mentioned them I discovered them.]
I find those methods necessary, and I don't understand the motivation
for getting rid of them.
Suppose I now code:
SomeXMLClass obj = SomeXMLClass.unmarshal(reader);
(which I like best, but see above.)
or
SomeXMLClass obj =
(SomeXMLClass)Unmarshaller.unmarshal(SomeXMLClass.class, reader):
What would the equivalent code look like under your proposal?
