If trying to use the schemagen in the jaxb-ri download directly, note the JAXB_PATH in schemagen.bat is inconsistent with the mod directory in the jaxb-ri.zip file.

E.g. to use schemagen.bat:

• As at now, download jaxb-ri-2.3.1.zip from https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/releases/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-ri/2.3.1/ (the 2.4.0-betas also had the mod/javax.activation-api.jar missing)

• Use these steps to run schemagen.bat, setting JAXB_HOME as appropriate:

       set JAXB_HOME=C:\Java\jaxb-ri-2.3.1
       set CLASSPATH=%JAXB_HOME%/mod/relaxng-datatype.jar;%JAXB_HOME%/mod/javax.activation-api.jar
       %JAXB_HOME%\bin\schemagen.bat -cp myjar1.jar;myjar2.jar -d target com.company.ClassName1 com.company.ClassName2
  

(This was against JDK 11)
