Can JAXB generate a generic class?

Question

Can I get a JAXB 2.0 XJC compiler to generate a generic class for me?

Something simple: -

public class Shape<T> {
    T myShape;
    // getter / setter
}

I see references to this in the spec, but not sure if I am reading it correctly. I always get object references.

I don't think so, no. However, it is fairly easy to write an XJC plugin to have excellent control over what code is generated.
