How do I customize the java annotation generated by JAXB?

JAXB generates @XmlAttribute annotations for every attribute. For example, the attribute 

    <xsd:attribute name="agent_id" use="required" type="xsd:unsignedInt">
    <xsd:annotation><xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">Foreign key reference to Agent.agent_id, Included in composite primary key</xsd:documentation></xsd:annotation>
    </xsd:attribute>

is translated to the annotated java object attribute

@XmlAttribute(name = "agent_id", required = true)
@XmlSchemaType(name = "unsignedInt")
protected long agentId;

However, if the attribute does not have an underscore in the name, the name field in the @XmlAttribute is missing (and thus ##default). I would like to customize the JAXB binding such, that also annotations for names without underscore are generated. Any suggestions how this could work?

Thanks! Johannes

You could write an XJC plugin to add this behaviour:

As far as a JAXB (JSR-222) implementation is concerned the result XML will be the same.
