A question about xmlbeans: if I change the schema locally and compile my xmlbeans into a jar, is that elementFormDefault attribute (& all schema info) compiled into my jar, or will xmlbeans validate() try to reference the schema again?
In my current set-up in Eclipse, I am certain that the app is not accessing the schemas once running.
