Feasibility Question: XJC plugin to create AS3 code

I'm just starting to evaluate XJC plugin functionality to see if I could use
it for a very specific task. Specifically, at present there is no JAXB type
functionalility for Adobe ActionScript (AS3) code. I have used XJC/JAXB to
create/use Java proxies for a different project and I now need to do
something very similar for ActionScript. If an XJC-plugin will allow me to
dramatically alter the output (to the extent that it is for an entirely
different target language) then it is a great start. Clearly XJC already
has a representation of the XSD in memory so I really am just trying to
change the code generation portion of the process.

Thoughts? Is this easily done through plugins?

Thanks.
Alan

P.S. Yes, I understand that the (un)marshaller need to be written entirely
in Flex. I'm only trying to solve the first half of the equation right
now... code generation.
