[nm-wg] Schema to Source Code Generators

[Tanya Brethour <brethour@ncsa.uiuc.edu>]

Hi! I've been searching for a tool that can take the nm-wg schema and
automatically generate Java class files for me. This will obviously make
it really easy to update the Advisor when a new schema comes out.

I have found a couple (Castor, JAXB, Relaxer, etc) but either they
generated too much extra stuff and make the classes overally complicated
or they choke when reading the schema (missing elements, can't handle 
imports, etc). 

Has anyone had any luck using a generator for their project? I don't
just mean generating Java classes.. any language would do. I'm
interested in hearing your experiences. Did you have to modify the schema
in any way?

Thanks,
