["Bob Foster" <bob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another possibility would be to write a plugin that adds a project nature to
Java projects that adds a build whatever that automatically runs xjc on xsd
files when they are changed. I'm not sure this is the result you or a user
would want, but it is possible to arrange the build order so xjc runs before
the java compiler.
