Unmarshalling Link doesn't seem to work. Try this out:

    @XmlRootElement(name="list")
    public static class LinksList
    {
       protected Link other;

       protected List<Link> links = new ArrayList<Link>();

       @XmlElement(name="link")
       @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=Link.JaxbAdapter.class, type=Link.class)
       public List<Link> getLinks()
       {
          return links;
       }

       public void setLinks(List<Link> links)
       {
          this.links = links;
       }

       @XmlElement(name="other")
       @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=Link.JaxbAdapter.class)
       public Link getOther()
       {
          return other;
       }

       public void setOther(Link other)
       {
          this.other = other;
       }
    }

    @Test
    public void testLinks() throws Exception
    {
       JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(LinksList.class);
       LinksList list = new LinksList();
       list.getLinks().add(Link.fromUri("/a").rel("self").build());
       list.getLinks().add(Link.fromUri("/b").rel("father").build());
       list.setOther(Link.fromUri("/c").rel("other").build());

       StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
       context.createMarshaller().marshal(list, writer);
       String xml = writer.getBuffer().toString();
       System.out.println(xml);

       System.out.println("----");
       list = (LinksList)context.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(new
ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes()));
       context.createMarshaller().marshal(list, System.out);

    }
