JAXB 1.0 specification, 1.x Reference Implementation and TCK were the
output of JSR 31 when it went final.
(See http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=31)

JSR 222 is a follow up to JSR 31. The relationship between JSR 31 and
222 is described
at http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=222. The executive summary is that
JSR 222
adds the following additional functionality over JSR 31: binding
existing Java classes to Schema ,
100% XML Schema to Java binding, and provides databinding for JAX-RPC
2.0 (JSR 224).
JAXB 2.0 has undergone some significant changes to support these
additional functionalities.

JAXB 2.0 Early Draft 2 specification and Early Access Reference
Implementation are the
most recent outputs of the JSR 222 effort.
