Well, with a little work, you could keep doing java first. Basically, you would need to write an XmlAdapter<Date, Calendar> (see JAXB) or similar that would convert your date objects to a form that JAXB can use (usually a calendar).
Basically, if doing java first with anything complex, learning the XmlAdapter things is a good idea. Most complex things can be worked around with them.
