I have done this before in order to create my own string type to
simulate the behaviour of the java String.trim() function.
<xsd:simpleType name="trimmedString">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo>
<jxb:javaType name="java.lang.String"
parse="com.aspective.common.jaxb.TrimmedString.trim"
print="com.aspective.common.jaxb.TrimmedString.trim">
</jxb:javaType>
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
My class (com.aspective.common.jaxb.TrimmedString) had to be in the
class path at compilation time. (I actually had quite a difficulty
with this, but think it was more to do with Ant issues than JAXB).

I got this message too when I didn't use my customisation.
I guess the JAXB compiler is just questioning why you'd bother to
go to the trouble of defining your own type if you don't use it.
Hope that helps
