To all you hard workers...

I was the original requestor for the toString plugin, though I didn't even
know at the time that a plugin was the answer to the original request to
have the toString() functionality.

Little did I expect that you guys would jump right on the task of creating a
solution. Not only that, "I only asked for one, but I got two instead."
THANKS SO MUCH!

However, still being rather new to JAXB, I remain a little confused. How do
I get these plugins? The description at https://hyperjaxb3.dev.java.net/
docs/tools/plugin/tostring/ToStringPlugin.html is nice, but how do I
actually download the plugin? Worse, the link to the test/one example of
usage doesn't help me much either.

Do I have to fetch the entire hyperjaxb3 package to get just the toString
plugin? Do I have to join the hyperjaxb3 project to do that?

And what about the "other" plugin. Did it ever actually get posted
somewhere? Where?

Sorry to be dense about this, but can someone kindly explain how to
download and use one or both of these plugins? Thanks again.
