Regarding Ara's last answer (thanks for it, by the way):
It is not about having "older" Java files that are not XDoclet annotated.
Nor is it about having EJB's for which we do not have the source.
It is about generating/changing/removing a descriptor for one bean and
leaving all the other xml tags intact. Let's say I start out with this:

<blahblah>
 <a>...</a>
 <b>...</b>
 <c>...</c>
</blahblah>

Suppose I want to create a new entry, I need to extract 

 <a>...</a>
 <b>...</b>
 <c>...</c> 

and make it into a template, and merge it in at some merge point to get
this:

<blahblah>
 <a>...</a>
 <b>...</b>
 <c>...</c>
 <d>...</d>
</blahblah>

 Too complicated. I think XDoclet was not designed to generate parts of
target files, right?
