Feature overview
This feature is about support for JAXB package annotations
Goals:
- Support the ability to annotate packages
- Support JAXB package level annotations and default values
- @XmlSchema
- @XmlNs
- @XmlAccessorType
- @XmlAccessorOrder
- @XmlSchemaType/Types
- Support JAXB package level enums
- XmlNsForm
- XmlAccessType
- XmlAccessOrder
Concepts
Package annotations could conceivably be placed on a package declaration of any class within a package, but in truth, in eclipse, it is only possible to annotate the package-info.java file. Annotating any other package declaration leads to a compile error. In addition, it is extremely unlikely that any externally compiled classes (e.g. jars) come from anything other than file-system-based java implementations, and so extremely unlikely that we'll have to deal with anything other than package annotations only being on the package-info "class".
Dali does not currently support package-info.java annotations, so that is the first technical hurdle. However, much has already been done in bug 265087.
