JAXB xjc error on name collision

Question

The xjc is invoked with the following command line:
C:\jwsdp-1.3\jaxb\bin>xjc -p com.multex.rrapi -d \multex -extension ReutersResearchAPI.xsd
The ReutersResearchAPI.xsd looks like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://api.reutersresearch.com/ReutersResearchAPI"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://api.reutersresearch.com/ReutersResearchAPI"
xmlns:ns1="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Estimates" xmlns:ns="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Collaboration"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:import namespace="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Collaboration" schemaLocation="Collaboration.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Estimates" schemaLocation="Estimates.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="ENTER_NAME_OF_ROOT_ELEMENT_HERE">
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
The Collaboration.xsd looks like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Collaboration"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Collaboration"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="status">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:int"/>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
The Estimates.xsd looks like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Estimates" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://api.reutersresearch.com/Estimates" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="Status">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="errorCode" type="errorCode_AttrT" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="success" type="success_AttrT" use="required"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
The xjc generates the following error message:
[ERROR] A class/interface with the same name "com.multex.rrapi.Status" is alread
y in use.
line 285 of Estimates.xsd
[ERROR] (Relevant to above error) another one is generated from here.
line 2017 of Collaboration.xsd

Thank you. I read the fix-collision sample. In my case I have to fix collision between an <element> from one namespace and an <element> from another. Would appending the "element" suffix eliminate the collision?
