xs:annotation cannot have attributes about jaxb-facets HOT 6 CLOSED

I can see in the standard that it is supposed to support non namespaced attributes.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-1-20041028/structures.html#cAnnotations

But still it breaks Eclipse and CXF, so probably most java apps are not going to work well with this particular feature either, as CXF uses JAXP java validator that is in the JDK.

Wondering if we can remove this feature?

I have done some more testing and it seems that in the case of jaxp validation annotations can have attributes, but they must have a namespace prefix. I am adding test cases to demonstrate this and changed the @Attribute so that the namespace is required.

I have created a branch in my repo with some additional changes around this.

I believe that default-namespace attributes are a convenient feature that users will like to have. We could revert to the previous version of @Attribute with default namespace "", but leave the tests with explicit namespaces, as implemented in your changes...?

But the fact the jaxp validation fails suggests default name space is not
even legal for jaxb anyway which is what this is all about.

I say only support what jaxp considers valid
