It's convenient to have a seperate JAXB class libray project when using JAXB in processing XML in Java application.

The below are the some simple steps to demonstrate how to create such a project in NetBeans IDE.

1. Create the project of Java class library

• Start a new project by selecting New Project... from File menu
• Choose project type as: Java Class Library
• Give the name of the project and then click on Finish button

2. Create the JAXB binding

• Right click on the new created project and choose New
• Choose the file category as: XML and File Types as: JAXB Binding
• Give the name of JAXB Binding
• Select the schema file

3. Build the project
