It turns out I wasn't completely accurate.
When the schema of the add-on project sits in its own namespace and
imports the schema of the main project, then xmlbeans does not download
the main schema and compiles only the elements in the add-on schema.
Alternatively, when the schema of the add-on project sits in the same
namespace as the main project and includes the schema from the main
project, then xmlbeans does download, process and compile the elements
from the main project.
Hence, xmlbeans appears to follow includes, but not imports.
Because I want the add-on project to use its own namespace, I use
<import>, causing xmlbeans to skip stub generation for the imported
elements.
Unfortunately, when I later try to parse an xml file that uses elements
from both namespaces (having the generated classes of both projects in
the classpath), xmlbeans complains the xml is not valid:
[error: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]://xmlmath.org/1.0" instead of
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]://xmlmath.org/1.0/date" here in element
[EMAIL PROTECTED]://xmlmath.org/1.0]
The above shouldn't fail as the "equals" element is declared to contain
child elements of type "value" and element "now" extends from "value"
(if it's helpful I can attach the schemas).
I'm not sure why xmlbeans rejects the xml, but I suppose it has to do
with the fact that the stubs from one namespace were generated
independently from the stubs in the other namespace.

Folks,
I'm having a bit of trouble generating only a limited set of stub
classes for a set of schemas.
I'm creating a new add-on for an existing xmlbeans-based project. This
add-on comes with its own xml schema in its own namespace that extends
data types from the main project. To this end, the add-on xsd imports
the main schema.
Now the thing is that I want the add-on project to generate xmlbeans
stubs for the new elements only. However, because the add-on schema
imports the main schema, xmlbeans decides to compile stubs for the main
schema as well.
Is it possible to tell xmlbeans to only compile stubs for the elements
in a specific schema and to ignore elements declared in imported and
included schemas?
Ultimately I want to add the generated stubs of the new project to the
classpath as an "add-on" or "plug-in" to the main project, so the stubs
of both projects need to be compatible.

Erik van Zijst
