Re: even easier XML parsing: Annotations?

Actually, turns out JAXB2, which isn't out yet but planned to be
included with J2SE 1.6 and J2EE 1.5, is (almost) as easy as my
approach. Of course, they are taking a year+ to develop it, which
makes me wonder, but, hey, all I wanted was something like this to be
available on any JRE, so it seems I'm getting my wish.

Still, thanks for the feedback!
