No, it's not acrude approach at all. I always thought that the code
(source) generator already supports uotputting arbitrary information as
part of the <xsd:documentation> elements. And I cannot see a valid
reason why this should not work.
Have you tried it ?

PS Until now I didn't know there's actually a project out there that
deals with adding arbitrary annotations to Castor ... seesm like I have
to have a look at it.

Hi Werner
how does the castor source generator (plan to) deal with annotations?
There is this project https://castor-annotations.dev.java.net/ which
appears
to tackle the problem (rather obscurely).
For example if I was adding hibernate persistence annotations, one would
need the source generator to output "import javax.persistence.Entity;" at
the top of a generated class (perhaps in the xsd annotation for the xml
schema) and within the xsd annotation for an element to be able specify the
hibernate annotation "@Entity" which would be generated before the class
declaration..
I was wondering whether there was an mileage in the idea of putting java
annotations inside xsd annotation/documentation elements and for the source
generate to write out what is in the annotations verbatim.
I guess this is rather a crude suggestion...
