In general, XJC's compilation may lose some of the schema information.
Whether a property is required or not maybe one of them.
In some cases, annotations capture that information, such as
XmlAttribute.required(). You also know that if the property is a
primitive type, it is required. But otherwise it's assumed to be optional.
If you need to be able to mark required element, you might need to come
up with your own annotation, like maybe @NotNull or something.
