/**
* <p>
* Maps a class or an enum type to a XML Schema type.
*
* <p><b>Usage</b></p>
* <p> The <tt>@XmlType</tt> annnotation can be used with the following program
* elements:
* <ul>
* <li> a top level class </li>
* <li> an enum type </li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
*
* <h3> Mapping a Class </h3>
* <p>
* A class maps to a XML Schema type. A class is a data container for
* values represented by properties and fields. A schema type is a
* data container for values represented by schema components within a
* schema type's content model (e.g. model groups, attributes etc).
* <p> To be mapped, a class must either have a public no-arg
* constructor or a static no-arg factory method. The static factory
* method can be specified in <tt>factoryMethod()</tt> and
* <tt>factoryClass()</tt> annotation elements. The static factory
* method or the no-arg constructor is used during unmarshalling to
* create an instance of this class. If both are present, the static
* factory method overrides the no-arg constructor.
* <p>
* A class maps to either a XML Schema complex type or a XML Schema simple
* type. The XML Schema type is derived based on the
* mapping of JavaBean properties and fields contained within the
* class. The schema type to which the class is mapped can either be
* named or anonymous. A class can be mapped to an anonymous schema
* type by annotating the class with <tt>@XmlType(name="")</tt>.
* <p>
* Either a global element, local element or a local attribute can be
* associated with an anonymous type as follows:
* <ul>
* <li><b>global element: </b> A global element of an anonymous
* type can be derived by annotating the class with @{@link
* XmlRootElement}. See Example 3 below. </li>
*
* <li><b>local element: </b> A JavaBean property that references
* a class annotated with @XmlType(name="") and is mapped to the
* element associated with the anonymous type. See Example 4
* below.</li>
*
* <li><b>attribute: </b> A JavaBean property that references
* a class annotated with @XmlType(name="") and is mapped to the
* attribute associated with the anonymous type. See Example 5 below. </li>
* </ul>
* <b> Mapping to XML Schema Complex Type </b>
* <ul>
* <li>If class is annotated with <tt>@XmlType(name="") </tt>, it
* is mapped to an anonymous type otherwise, the class name maps
* to a complex type name. The <tt>XmlName()</tt> annotation element
* can be used to customize the name.</li>
*
* <li> Properties and fields that are mapped to elements are mapped to a
* content model within a complex type. The annotation element
* <tt>propOrder()</tt> can be used to customize the content model to be
* <tt>xs:all</tt> or <tt>xs:sequence</tt>. It is used for specifying
* the order of XML elements in <tt>xs:sequence</tt>. </li>
*
* <li> Properties and fields can be mapped to attributes within the
* complex type. </li>
*
* <li> The targetnamespace of the XML Schema type can be customized
* using the annotation element <tt>namespace()</tt>. </li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>
* <b> Mapping class to XML Schema simple type </b>
* <p>
* A class can be mapped to a XML Schema simple type using the
* <tt>@XmlValue</tt> annotation. For additional details and examples,
* see @{@link XmlValue} annotation type.
* <p>
* The following table shows the mapping of the class to a XML Schema
* complex type or simple type. The notational symbols used in the table are:
* <ul>
* <li> -> : represents a mapping </li>
* <li> [x]+ : one or more occurances of x </li>
* <li> [ <tt>@XmlValue</tt> property ]: JavaBean property annotated with
* <tt>@XmlValue</tt></li>
* <li> X : don't care
* </ul>
* <blockquote>
* <table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="3">
* <tbody>
* <tr>
* <td><b>Target</td>
* <td><b>propOrder</b></td>
* <td><b>ClassBody</b></td>
* <td><b>ComplexType</b></td>
* <td><b>SimpleType</b></td>
* </tr>
*
* <tr valign="top">
* <td>Class</td>
* <td>{}</td>

* </tr>
* </tbody>
* </table>
* </blockquote>
*
* <h3> Mapping an enum type </h3>
*
* An enum type maps to a XML schema simple type with enumeration
* facets. The following annotation elements are ignored since they
* are not meaningful: <tt>propOrder()</tt> , <tt>factoryMethod()</tt> ,
* <tt>factoryClass()</tt> .
*
* <h3> Usage with other annotations </h3>
* <p> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
* {@link XmlRootElement}, {@link XmlAccessorOrder}, {@link XmlAccessorType},
* {@link XmlEnum}. However, {@link
* XmlAccessorOrder} and {@link XmlAccessorType} are ignored when this
* annotation is used on an enum type.
*

* xs:sequence with a customized ordering of JavaBean properties.
