generally change JaxB class name mapping

I have a fairly big xsd from which I generate JaxB classes using the org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2.maven-jaxb2-plugin. The element names are all capital letters delimited by underscores like FOO_BAR_BAZ. This results in hideous names for the generated classes e.g. FOOBARBAZ. Idealy I would like it to be maped to FooBarBaz. Extending the definition with <jxb:class> Elements isn't an option.

Is there a general way to override how jaxb maps element names to java class names?

You can use an external binding declarations file, an .xjb file containing something similar to this:

<jxb:bindings node="//xs:element[@name='FOO_BAR_BAZ']">
    <jxb:class name="FooBarBaz"/>
    <jxb:property name="FooBarBaz"/>
</jxb:bindings>

But you will have to do that for all the classes to be generated. You may alos have to configure the bindingDirectory proprerty of the maven plugin.

For this use case you could investigate creating a custom XJC plug-in to customize how the Java class names are derived.
