Java-XML Binder (JXB)
=====================

Java-XML Binder creates XML documents from Java Objects and reconstructs Java Objects from XML.


Features:
---------

1. Mapping Rules are configurable exclusively through Java-Annotations. Only Classes and their
   Member Variables with declared Annotations will be processed by JXB. 

2. Java Classes does not need to implement getter- and setter-Methods for all Member Variables to be mapped.
   Access to Member Variables occurs using Java Reflection so that all Variable Values can be read or set
   by JXB independently of their Visibility Modifiers.

3. JXB supports mapping of Java Classes of any complexity - independently on inheritance
   and References to other Classes. Arrays, Maps and Collections of Objects can also be mapped by JXB.

Requirements:
-------------

1. JRE 1.5 or later.

Dependencies:
------------

1. JXB Project depends on dom4j-1.6.1.jar

2. JXB JUnit Tests from package de.shu.jxb.test.* depends additional on
	commons-lang-2.4.jar and junit-4.6.jar
