Hello:
Seem to have run into some rought weather with RTFS on JAXB RI 1.0.
Well I did get my CodeAugmenter to be picked up by XJC task.

So if I understand this correctly, from the AnnotatedGrammer you can get
list of JavaItem. Each JavaItem contains information on
GeneratedCodeModel. But How can one access the corresponding
JavaItemVisitor that has the information on the Schema that was
responsible for this JavaItem ?

Any help is appreciated.
