I answered this in the EAC bug, but you can use a custom JAXB Plugin for 
the XJC that will allow you to insert code into the generated classes.   
Also, if you add the Eclipse copyright header to the XML Schemas, as 
xsd:annotation\xsd:documentation element under the xsd:schema you should 
get those comments added.  See the bug report for how to use the XJC 
plugins and the code insertion plugin in particular.
