The code generated will be annotated with @XmlElementWrapper and @XmlElement annotations and will have no extra inner classes representing the immediate collection type.

Please note: The xew.jar file available here is built with JDK 1.6 and JAXB 2.0. To use it with another combination like for example JDK 1.5 and JAXB 2.1, download the source code and recompile it. Also, the plugin will not currently work with the combination JDK 1.6 and JAXB 2.1. The article Migrating JAXB 2.0 applications to JavaSE 6 offers some explanations - but I've not been able to make it work completely yet.
