I am unable to get the 1.0.6 version of UML2EJB to work with the latest JAXB 1.0 Beta. The latest version of JAXB does not support DTDs. The early access edition of JAXB is no longer available for download.
"The early access release that implemented working draft v0.21 of the JAXB specification is no longer available for download. The expert group for JAXB has taken the specification in a very different direction then the old version and it is not backwards compatible. Consequently, we discontinued distribution of the old version. As a result, the best option for those who used the old version would be to move their code base to the beta version of the JAXB reference implementation.
We realize that this is an inconvenience. However, one of the great strengths of the Java Community Process is the excellent compatibility that it affords. In order to maintain that compatibility we put very strict terms on EA technologies. Once a technology has completed the JCP you can have confidence that the final version will be supported and will be compatible."
Are there any plans to migrate to using XML Schemas instead of DTDs and supporting the latest JAXB version?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
yes, we support it! Today, I will check in the last necessary changes (converted DTD to XSD, re-generated the classes, fixed the rest of the classes, the XSLT script and the build scripts). At least, everything will be in CVS tonight.
UML2EJB 1.1.0 will be released soon!
Cheers,
Matthias

This is a quote from the JAXB faq @ http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/faq.html about the options for software using the older implementation:
