The actual automatic URI->package conversion is defined in the
com.sun.tools.xjc.reader.Util.etPackageNameFromNamespaceURI method,
which is context-free code.
The one in ClassSelector.getPackage needs to take other things into
account, and this one isn't particularly reusable nor simple.
If your question is how you can plug-in your own nsURI->package
converter code, you can't do that today, but that seems like a
reasonable thing to expose for plugins.
Or did I miss your point?
