Some Java IDEs that effectively utilise a JAXB implementation:
Open Source IDEs:
JDeveloper:
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/jdev/OJDUG/dev_apps_xml.htm#OJDUG1186
NetBeans: https://netbeans.org/kb/74/websvc/jaxb.html
Eclipse:
http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jpt.doc.user%2Ftask_generate_classes_from_schema.htm
Commercial IDE: IntelliJ: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
Eclipse IDE also uses EclipseLink MOXy. And EclipseLink also supports JAXB.
The JAXB compiler class, xjc (part of the Java SDK tools.jar) generates
classes from the command line.
The JAXB Schema Generator, <JavaHome>\bin\schemagen, creates - from the
command line - a schema file for each namespace referenced in the source
Java classes.
Another open source tool for Binding XML to Java: JiBX: jibx.sourceforge.net
It would seem that modern IDEs would have incorporated the best
features, where possible, of other Open Source frameworks, such as the
apparently, now-retired XMLBeans.
Completing the Java XML Processing picture, there's JAXP (Java API for
XML Processing) - https://jaxp.java.net/ -
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/ - providing support for
SAX (Simple API for XML), StAX (Streaming API for XML), DOM, XSLT, XPath.
