JAXB Class Generator

The JAXB compiler generates the interfaces and the implementation classes corresponding to the XML schema. The JAXB class generator, which is based on the Java Specification Request (JSR) recommendation for JAXB, is to be used for new applications. The Oracle class generator for Java is deprecated and replaced by the JSR-31 implementation of XML Data Binding (JAXB). The runtime will be supported, so that the Java classes generated in older releases will continue to work.
