If I have a schame with the following type:
<simpleType name="TestEnum">
<restriction base="NMTOKEN">
<enumeration value="b"/>
<enumeration value="a"/>
<enumeration value="c"/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
The when XJC turns this into a java enum type, then it will re-arrange
the enumeration values into alphabetical order:
@XmlEnum
public enum TestEnum {
@XmlEnumValue("a")
A("a"),
@XmlEnumValue("b")
B("b"),
@XmlEnumValue("c")
C("c");
}
While I appreciate that the permitted enum values in the XML Schema are
not strictly speaking ordered, the values in a java enum type are.
Is there any reason why XJC couldn't retain the ordering of enum values
in the generated java? Information is being lost during the translation.
Should I file an issue for this?
