Wrong class name after fixing missing @XmlRootElement issue

I have xsd, that is using famous convention:

<xsd:element name="name" type="Type">
<!-- ... -->
</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="Type">
<!-- ... -->
<xsd:complexType/>

And because of that, when I generate classes with xjc tool I don't have @XmlRootElement annotation. I found a solution on the stackoverflow, that is using simple binding for xjc:

<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="myschema.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
   <jxb:globalBindings>
      <xjc:simple/>
   </jxb:globalBindings>
</jxb:bindings>

when I generate classes with xjc with -extension -b flags, I've got XmlRootElement annotation. The problem is, that name of the class is no longer correct. I expect to have class "Type" that is using "" as a root element. But I receive class "Name".

I've spent almost 2 days on this issue...

Is there any way to create class with proper name and XmlRootElement annotation?

Using the xjc:simple Extension

The generated class name isn't incorrect, it is just that the class name was derived from the global element rather than the complex type.

Standard Behaviour

Without the xjc:simple extension global elements that correspond to named complex types will have a corresponding @XmlElementDecl annotation on the ObjectFactory class. As a result the object will be wrapped in an instance of JAXBElement during marshalling and unmarshalling.
