You may find information about the normative binding schema defined in the JAXB Specification athttp://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb.
The JAXB 2.x RI is a major reimplementation to meet the requirements of the 2.x specifications.

This minor-minor release contains only changes relevant to GlassFish OSGi environment
Minor licencing and legal fixes. No changes to source code.
Fixed documentation that incorrectly showed that JAXB RI is CDDL only (it's actually CDDL/GPLv2+classpath dual license)
JavaSE 6 release is expected to include this version of the JAXB RI (certainly as of build 102.)
More bug fixes
The simpler and better binding mode is improved
JAXB unofficial user's guide is available now, though it's still a work in progress
Java to schema samples are added
Added <xjc:javaType> vendor customization
Added experimental <xjc:simple> vendor customization, which brings in a new simpler and better binding mode
The spec has renamed
AccessType
to
XmlAccessType
, and
@AccessorType
to
@XmlAccessorType
.
Various error handling improvements
Experimental canonicaliztion support is added.
The '-b' option can now take a directory and recursively search for all "*.xjb" files.
Fixed various issues regarding using JAXB from codef inside a restricted security sandbox.
Added more pluggability points for plugins to customize the code generation behavior.
Some of the code is split into a separate
istack-commons
project to promote more reuse among
projects.
Made a few changes so that RetroTranslator can translate the JAXB RI (and its generated code) to run it on JDK 1.4 and earlier
Improved the quality of the generated code by removing unnecessary imports.
Other countless bug fixes
Map property can be now correctly bound to XML Schema
Default marshaller error handling behavior became draconian (previously errors were ignored.)
@link to a parameterized type is now correctly generated
started producing architecture document for those who want to build plugins or play with the RI internal.
XJC now uses the platform default proxy setting by default.
@XmlAccessorOrder
, @XmlSchemaType
and @XmlInlineBinaryData
are implemented
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter
on a class/package is implemented
Marshaller life-cycle events are implemented
Integration to FastInfoset is improved in terms of performance
XJC can generate @Generated
The unmarshaller is significantly rewritten for better performance
Added schemagen tool and its Ant task
Various improvements in error reporting during unmarshalling/marshalling
JAXB RI is now under CDDL
The default for @XmlAccessorType
was changed to
PUBLIC_MEMBER
Optimized binary data handling enabled by callbacks in package javax.xml.bind.attachment. Standards supported include MTOM/XOP and WS-I AP 1.0 ref:swaRef.
Unmarshal/marshal support of element defaulting
Improved the quality of the generated Java code
Fixed bugs in default value handling
Runtime performance improvements, memory usage improvements
Added support for <xjc:superInterface> vendor extension
Migrated source code to http://jaxb2-sources.dev.java.net
Published NetBeans project file for JAXB RI
Added more support to the schema generator: anonymous complex types, attribute refs, ID/IDREF, etc
Implemented
javax.xml.bind.Binder
support (not 100% done
yet)
Implemented marshal-time validation
Improved xjc command line interface - better support for proxy options, more options for specifying schema files
Added schema-2-Java support for simple type substitution
Added support for the new
<jaxb:globalBindings localScoping="nested" |
"toplevel">
customization which helps control deeply
nested classes
Made the default
ValidationEventHandler
more forgiving in 2.0 than it
was in 1.0 (The class still behaves the same as it did when
used by a 1.0 app)
Added wildcard support for DTD
Numerous other small changes and bugfixes....
Support for 100% W3C XML Schema (not all in EA, but planned for FCS)
Support for binding Java to XML
Addition of
javax.xml.bind.annotation
package for controling the
binding from Java to XML
Significant reduction in the number of generated schema-derived classes
Per complex type definition, generate one value class instead of an interface and implementation class.
Per global element declaration, generate a factory method instead of generating a schema-derived interface and implementation class.
Replaced the validation capabilities in 1.0 with JAXP 1.3 validation API's
Smaller runtime libraries
Numerous other changes...
