Just a side note: I prefer to create the schema _first_ because that is 
something the user will face (I am thinking of configuration files 
here).  So first comes usability for the user and only then I bother how 
that will be transferred into Java land.  I use "trang" to generate an 
XSD and modify it manually afterwards.

If you are designing XML based persistence of Java classes then of 
course your approach is at least equally valid.  But I would do that 
only if I am sure no human being needs to edit those XML files.

Kind regards
