The generation support is fairly primitive, and may well require hand modification to complete in complex cases. The documentation included in the download covers the usage and limitations in more detail. Both tools are actually components of the JiBX 2.0 code which have been backported to 1.1. The current Beta 0.2 version of these tools should be usable for many purposes directly, though the output is far from optional and often requires manual corrections. The tools are now being updated as part of preparations for the JiBX 1.2 releases, in which they'll become integrated components of the core JiBX distribution. An initial version of the replacement tools have been made available as part of the Jibx2Wsdl code-first WSDL generator. There's currently no documentation for using the binding generator and schema generator components directly, but this will be coming as part of an initial beta release of JiBX 1.2 in June, 2007.
