For the longest time, the jaxb2 plugin was generally very poorly maintained, 
locked down to ancient versions of JAXB (and we had trouble getting it working 
with the newer versions we usually use), and wasn't available at central.

However, lately, the jaxb2-commons stuff has been much better maintained and 
handled and is available at central.   Thus, it's kind of a toss up.   With 
our own plugin, we can do some extra things (like support our "classpath:" url 
format) and such, but it really is just a very thin wrapper on the XJC command 
line tool so for most cases, either is fine.
