Support JAXB2.1

[sergiyuvarov]

I made changes to this plugin and now it works with jaxb2.1.
I want to send you changes but I can't find your email.

I would be interested in seeing the changes you suggest. Could you fork sources and commit to GitHub? If the changes make sense, I will apply to this project. Project compiles and runs against 2.2.4, I doubt that there is a big community that still uses 2.1.x.

[sergiyuvarov]

I forked the repository and committed changes. It works only with JAXB2.1 so it would be better to create a branch.

I agree with you not many developers will be interested in JAXB2.1. I have to use it with legacy code.

Before you have committed you have changed the code formatting, now I see that all files are deleted and added again (link). I would love to see the changes, but I simply can't. Formatting rules are listed on project front page.

Do Unit tests pass after your changes?

[sergiyuvarov]

Yes, I changed the code formatting as not intended to share it at the beginning.
I would restore the code formatting but I didn't use eclipse (and never used).
You can view a better diff in IDE.

Unit tests are passed. But I had to remove almost all ObjectFactory.java, jaxb doesn't keep method's order.

What IDE are you using? I can ask around – maybe someone can help me to create compatible formatting rules for your IDE.

I doubt that your IDE will show a better diff (as git is changeset-based system) unless IDE is "too smart" and utilizes internal diff comparison (not using git diff).

[sergiyuvarov]

I'm using NetBeans, and It really has good diff.

Closing the issue, as there is no plan to support legacy JAXB 2.1.
