If you're developing onm JAXB 1, take a look at
http://jaxbcommons.dev.java.net. There's a number of add-ons for
internationalization, equals and hashcode, cloning and so on.

Ah, ok, so you saw one of my add-ons. By the way, it's
jaxbvalidation.dev.java.net now.

My developments are mainly JAXB 1-based. This may help:
https://jaxbcommons.dev.java.net/guide.html
https://hyperjaxb2.dev.java.net/nonav/reference/html_single/index.html#d0e1828
However I do not know how relevant is it to JAXB 2 (which you seem to
apply for).
Bye.
