When I generate Java files from XML Schema using JAXB, package-info.java file is generated.
What is this file for? and how does it work?
Especially, this file contains annotation like below.
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://searchrequest")
What does this mean? I doubt this does something with javadoc or Eclipse Juno.
This should be something specific with JAXB, isn't it?

package-info. java is a way to apply java annotations at the package level. In this case Jaxb is using package-level annotations to indicate the namespace, and to specify namespace qualification for attributes (source).
