You mean when generating the annotations with the code model or when
you've created a JAXB context from the annotated classes?
For the first case, add a parameter with the same name (and a
different value) - this will override previous definition.
If you mean the second case - this is also possible with some hacks
via reflection. You have to find the approriate "element property
info" and change its xmlName field.
For a less hacky way, write an own AnnotationReader (inherit from some
existing class) to return annotations with names as you need them.
Then use this reader to produce a JAXB context with customized element
(or whatever) names. Not very easy, but neither a rocket science.
Bye.
