[1] Too often, we programmers disregard deployment and operations issues. 
It's a good exercise to figure out where to put your JAXB stuff in your 
version-control repository, write and run the build scripts (Ant, for example) 
that work off a clean export from that repository, accounting for code used on 
both ends of the exchange.  Then deploy that yourself on two instances - one 
for each end - of whatever the target environments are (desktop app, 
smartphone app, Java EE app, ...).  Integrate that with a 
continuous-integration platform like Hudson.  For extra credit, put the 
database on a different host.

That exercise tends to make you a fan of framework reduction - too many 
programmers take all the latest Springs and Ajax of outrageous configuration 
without regard for architecture, emergent interactions or transitive version 
dependencies.  One outcome is to undo all the type safety of the Java 
language, substituting instead a mish-mosh of references by name whose 
incompatibilities come forward only at runtime.

Injection has its place, but most of the time, what's wrong with just calling 
a durn method?
