/**
*<p><b>Purpose</b>: This annotation is used in conjunction with an XmlElements annotation to
* specify an XmlPath for each of the XmlElement annotations in the XmlElements.
* The number of XmlPath annotations must be the same as the number of XmlElement annotations
* and the order must be the same.
*
* <p><b>Example:</b><br>
* <code>
* @XmlRootElement(name="customer")<br>
* public class Customer {<br>
* ...<br>
* @XmlElements({@literal {@XmlElement(type=String.class), @XmlElement(type=Integer.class)}})<br>
* @XmlPaths({@literal {@XmlPath("choice-element/string/text()"), @XmlPath("choice-element/integer/text()")}})<br>
* public Object choice<br>
* ...<br>
* }</code><br><br>
* Will create the following Schema:<br>
*
* <pre>
* ...
* <xsd:choice>
* <xsd:element name="choice-element" minOccurs="0">
* <xsd:complexType>
* <xsd:choice>
* <xsd:element name="string" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
* <xsd:element name="integer" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0"/>
* </xsd:choice>
* </xsd:complexType>
* </xsd:element>
* </xsd:choice>
* ...
