Unfortunately, no. The best we can do today is to defer the decision
until you invoke JAXBContext.newInstance(); that means you need to
define a way to enumerate all the interesting packages and classes.

It's nice if there's a resolver like mechanism to allow JAXBContext to
add more classes as it does unmarshalling/marshalling, but that's not
implemented today (besides it has some tricky semantic implication.)
