I'd simply suggest that you check out the source code of JAXB2 RI and
take a look what's going on. Things that you refer to are not intended
for a wide audience, it's just a dozen of people who'd be interested
in this, that's why I guess it's not documented that well.
Answering your question, in the plugin you can implement the
onActivated(Options options) method which is called before any
generation takes place. In the given Options object there's quite a
few setting you can change. What you refer to is probably
FieldRendererFactory which is responsible for creating code from the
JAXB2 internal model. Write your own factory and set it in onActivated
- and you'll generate different code for the same schema.
Bye.
