Hi Wolfgang
I did not explain what we are trying to do very well. We want to create/maintain/edit the xjb file using an XML, DTD, XSD aware editor like eclipse. These editors will make it much faster and easier for catch bugs. We build our project using Maven. For unknown reasons the xjc errors where not showing up in our build logs. I discovered the bugs by running xjc on the command line. You are correct. when run from the command line xjc did a good job of reporting errors. Most of the problems where related file name changes.
Bellow is a more complete example of our actual xjc file. I deleted most of the contents. eclipse does not know what types are allowed. <jaxb:bug>hello world</jaxb:bug> will not cause an error.
eclipse generates a wanring "No grammer constraints (DTD or XML Schema) detected for the document" thats it. As long as the xml is well formed eclipse does not complain.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<jaxb:bindings version="2.0"
targetNamespace="
http://www.apple.com/xxx"
xmlns:jaxb="

Given xjc process xsd files. I assume that xjc files would start with a proper <schema> tag and not use well formed XML.
Personally I find the xjc related documentation to be very difficult to find and use. My hope is that by adding the meta data to our xjb files that it will be easier for our programmers to figure out how the xjb file works.
Thanks
