We're looking for wrapped array definitions in the schema. So, I'm curious,

Using XmlElementWrapper( name="GroupsOfXxx" )
The complexType's User and Group each have one sub-element
name="GroupsOfXxx" each of which contains an anonymous complexType with the
repeated element name="xxxGroups". IMHO, this doesn't improve matters, at
least not for marshalling and unmarshalling with JAXB: You just have to mess
with one additional layer between a User or a Group and the List<Group>.
Does anyone have any thoughts on if this is a defect in the JAXB-RI code,

I can't help you there. I have problems running schemagen from any of the
2.1.x stand-alone distributions
since this appears to clash with what is in the jdk1.6 API. Adding
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/my/jaxbhome/lib to the Java call doesn't help. Oh,
well...
