 * With JAXB you can:
 * Generate JAXB Java classes from an XML schema
 * Use schema-derived JAXB classes to unmarshal and marshal XML content in a Java application
 * Create a Java content tree from scratch using schema-derived JAXB classes
 * Validate XML content during unmarshalling and at runtime
 * Customize JAXB schema-to-Java bindings
