I cannot generate a set of Java classes using xjc.bat. The stack trace is as follows:

This problem relates to the definition of a Custom element in my schema. If I remove this definition and all its uses then the compile completes successfully.
The Custom element is defined as follows:
<xsd:element name = "Custom"/>
This error is not entirely unexpected given that any content is allowed. Is there a workaround?
Many thanks.
Dean Grossmith.
