Work with the JAXB EG to have a nice Bean Validation integration

Hi,

I created open-source "Bean Validation in JAXB" specification and reference implementation. It is a part of EclipseLink MOXy solution which provides JAXB 2.0. It uses Hibernate Validator as its default BV provider.
It is a fully-functionable integration of BV with JAXB. All main areas are covered, including marshalling, unmarshalling, XJC (Plugin) and schema generation. User-specific annotations are also supported.

More information at: https://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/MOXy/BVinJAXB

FYI, this JAXB plugin seems to do the trick for now: https://github.com/krasa/krasa-jaxb-tools

It definitely should be pushed to the JAXB side. I did chat with them a long time about correspondences between their XML constraints and Bean Validation's.

I''ll try and revive that.

Thinking about this a bit more, I'm wondering whether this actually isn't more a topic for the JAXB EG.

The idea behind this is to add BV annotions to generated beans based on XML schema constructs (xs:minInclusive, xsattern etc.) and the other way around, right? The mapping between XSD and Java types is described in the JAXB spec, so is there really very much which could be done on the BV side?

Shoudn't this go to HV instead of BVAL?
