In JAXB 2.0
- you can start with Java code, annotate your code with JAXB annotations,
  and generate the XML. Schema generation is not necessary.
  The annotations are defined in javax.xml.bind.annotation and its sub
package
  javax.xml.bind.annotation.adpaters. Also, defaulting rules apply if there
  are no annotations.

- if you start with an xsd, value classes are generated by default.
Interface/impl classes
  can (like in JAXB 1.0) be generated using a customization.
