It says "[@XmlSchemaType] maps a Java type to a simple schema built-in
type", so I'd say: no, it won't work.

After more consideration, I'm not sure I could even get this to work. I
could use a "@XmlSchemaType" annotation to specify a type that's defined
in the auxiliary xsd file, and then use either xslt or the xmltask Ant
library to integrate an xs:import or xs:include into the generated xsd
file.
Could this work?
