SCD bindings do not support custom/vendor customization elements

[Tomas-Kraus]

I wrote a number of XJC plugins, some of these plugins can be customized via binding files.

For instance, I can do the following:

<jaxb:bindings version="1.0" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" 	xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 	xmlns:jsonix="http://jsonix.highsource.org/customizations" 	jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="jsonix">

	<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="w3c/1999/xlink.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
		<jsonix:packageMapping packageName="org.hisrc.w3c.xlink.v_1_0" spaceName="XLink_1_0"/>
	</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>

If my Jsonix plugin is activated, XJC will know that jsonix:packageMapping is a customization element for Jsonix (plugin API allows saying what your customization namespace URI is and which local names you expect).

SCD seems to be a more advanced way to address schema elements. I.e.

<jaxb:bindings scd="x-schema::xlink" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ... />

addresses the XLink schema logically via namespace URI. Forget the files, this is perfect. Much more versatile than schemaLocation and node. I guess episodes would not work without SCD in first place. For my scenarios it would for instance help with #1047.

My problem is that SCD does not allow custom elements. So this:

<jaxb:bindings version="1.0" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" 	xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 	xmlns:jsonix="http://jsonix.highsource.org/customizations" 	jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="jsonix">

	<jaxb:bindings scd="x-schema::xlink" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> 		<jsonix:packageMapping packageName="org.hisrc.w3c.xlink.v_1_0" spaceName="XLink_1_0"/>
	</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>

I get the following error:

[ERROR] Error while parsing schema(s).Location [ file:/C:/Projects/workspaces/ogc-ng/w3c-schemas/xlink/1999/src/main/resources/xlink-v_1_0.jsonix.xjb{8,89}].
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:/C:/Projects/workspaces/ogc-ng/w3c-schemas/xlink/1999/src/main/resources/xlink-v_1_0.jsonix.xjb; lineNumber: 8; columnNumber: 89; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'jsonix:packageMapping'.

Clearly, SCD does not process custom configuration elements whereas schemaLocation plus node do process.
