I just wrote this: https://jaxb.dev.java.net/plugin.html

I think reading other plugins' source code would be probably the most
helpful. We can also get you a place in jaxb2-commons so that you can
host your code there.

Ah. Hmm. Good question. No, it probably isn't possible right now. If you
are interested in doing it, let's talk so that we can extend plugin

Also, Lexi has a plugin (but for JAXB1) that generates Hibernate mapping
files. If you are interested in that area, maybe we should ping him.
