This is not an option on the SourceGenerator class, but a simple setter
that should be used as follows (taken from a sample test case):
SourceGenerator generator = new SourceGenerator();
String xmlSchema = getClass().getResource("test.xsd").toExternalForm();
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(xmlSchema);
generator.setDestDir("./codegen/src/test/java");
generator.setSuppressNonFatalWarnings(true);
// uncomment to use Velocity for code generation
generator.setJClassPrinterType("velocity");
Does this address your question ?

Can you supply me with a short JUnit test case ? I just had a look at
the sources, and this does not make sense.

If it's not, we should definitely improve logging output. But you can
definitely tell by having a look at the files generated. If you use
'standard' mode, you would still see this old
//--------------------------/
//- Class/Member Variables -/
//--------------------------/
output all over the files.
In addition, I think we should add additional output to the Velocity
macros so that it is apparent what version of Castor has been used to
create the files (and that Velocity has been used).

Not really sure. But for starters, why don't you get Castor sources from
SVN trunk, and amend the files locally, and build Castor yourself ?
