Re:  Tool to create a Java class from an XML document?
Some Java IDEs that effectively utilise a JAXB implementation:

Open Source IDEs:
JDeveloper: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/jdev/OJDUG/dev_apps_xml.htm#OJDUG1186
NetBeans: https://netbeans.org/kb/74/websvc/jaxb.html
Eclipse: http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jpt.doc.user%2Ftask_generate_classes_from_schema.htm

Commercial IDE: IntelliJ: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Eclipse IDE also uses EclipseLink MOXy. And EclipseLink also supports JAXB.

The JAXB compiler class, xjc (part of the Java SDK tools.jar) generates classes from the command line.
The JAXB Schema Generator, <JavaHome>\bin\schemagen, creates - from the command line - a schema file for each namespace referenced in the source Java classes.

Another open source tool for Binding XML to Java: JiBX: jibx.sourceforge.net

It would seem that modern IDEs would have incorporated the best features, where possible, of other Open Source frameworks, such as the apparently, now-retired XMLBeans.

Completing the Java XML Processing picture, there's JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) - https://jaxp.java.net/ - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/ - providing support for SAX (Simple API for XML), StAX (Streaming API for XML), DOM, XSLT, XPath.

Hi Dimitre,

No, oXygen does not provide this functionality.

Hi Ghislain,

Thank you, I found the XJC.exe tool which I believe is part of JAXB.

For information to other interested readers, Stephen Cameron and Peter
Hunsberger proposed some other alternatives such as XMLBeans and Moxy.

Oxygen was also mentioned as able to do that, and it would be good to
have a more definite confirmation, as for many of us this, if
possible, will be a very convenient way of carrying out the class
generation task.

Cheers,
Dimitre

Hi Dimitre,

I don't know if there is an undisputed de-facto standard, but I often hear
about JAXB, which may be the kind of technology you are looking for.

https://jaxb.java.net/
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxb/intro/

I have to add though that I do not have experience with it, as I use XQuery
for processing schemas and instances (yay! :-) ).

Kind regards,
Ghislain

Which is the best (de-facto standard) tool to use for generating a
Java class definition from an XML document instance?

In the .NET world we have xsd.exe [1] and it can be used to do
exactly that. Unfortunately, in this particular case a Java class
needs to be generated -- not a C# one.
