There are a few XMLBeans sites that make reference to generated code taking advantage of generics (and enums) however, I can't seem to find the configuration option to set.
Sites mentioning generics in XML Beans:
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/news.html
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlbeans/V2Features
I have set the javaSource
configuration to 1.5 but that still isn't causing the generated source to use generics.
(see http://mojo.codehaus.org/xmlbeans-maven-plugin/xmlbeans-mojo.html#javaSource)
