His question was: "How can I achieve this *without* annotations?"

Alexey, Simple-XML builds an internal data structure from the  
annotations. Unfortunately, all the code is package private and Niall  
doesn't use factories which you can override (for example  
ScannerFactory is created with new inside the constructor of Support).

That means Simple XML is useless if you can't annotate your classes  
and you're not willing to patch the sources.
