AutoInheritance Plugin

AutoInheritance plugin allows you to force global elements or complex types to extend or implement certain classes or interfaces. Activation

The plugin is activated by the -XautoInheritance and configured by the corresponding command line options.

• -XautoInheritance-xmlRootElementsExtend
• -XautoInheritance-xmlRootElementsImplement
• -XautoInheritance-jaxbElementsImplement
• -XautoInheritance-xmlTypesExtend
• -XautoInheritance-xmlTypesImplement

Usage

This will make all global elements (classes annotated with @XmlRootElement) extend the com.acme.foo.MyElement class and implement com.acme.foo.MyElementInterface1 and com.acme.foo.MyElementInterface2 interfaces (and analogous for generated JAXBElement subclasses the classes annotated with @XmlType).

Note that if your target class already has a superclass, xmlRootElementsExtend or xmlTypesExtend will have no effect.
