Just create a global.xjb file in yours bindingDirectory

binding

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
               xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:annox="http://annox.dev.java.net"
               xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/bindingschema_2_0.xsd"
               version="2.1">
    <jaxb:globalBindings>
