Hi Ghislain,
Thank you, I found the XJC.exe tool which I believe is part of JAXB.
For information to other interested readers, Stephen Cameron and Peter
Hunsberger proposed some other alternatives such as XMLBeans and Moxy.
Oxygen was also mentioned as able to do that, and it would be good to
have a more definite confirmation, as for many of us this, if
possible, will be a very convenient way of carrying out the class
generation task.
Cheers,
Dimitre

Hi Dimitre,
I don't know if there is an undisputed de-facto standard, but I often hear
about JAXB, which may be the kind of technology you are looking for.

I have to add though that I do not have experience with it, as I use XQuery
for processing schemas and instances (yay! :-) ).
Kind regards,
Ghislain

Which is the best (de-facto standard) tool to use for generating a
Java class definition from an XML document instance?
In the .NET world we have xsd.exe [1] and it can be used to do
exactly that. Unfortunately, in this particular case a Java class
needs to be generated -- not a C# one.
