JAXB validation error with sample applications

Question

Hi,
When trying to generate the java from po.xsd in the first example I get two compile errors in the result :
"PurchaseOrderImpl.java": Error #: 454 : class {deleted root}.generated.impl.PurchaseOrderImpl should be declared abstract; it does not define method validateThis() in interface javax.xml.bind.Element at line 11, column 8
"CommentImpl.java": Error #: 454 : class {deleted root}.generated.impl.CommentImpl should be declared abstract; it does not define method validateThis() in interface javax.xml.bind.Element at line 11, column 8
where {deleted root} represents parent packages in our source tree.
Anyone else seen this?
I'm using Ant1.51 to kick off the build, with the patch referred to in Apache bug 14640. (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14640)
The target to do the build is defined as follows :-
<target name="schema" depends="init"
description="Compile schema">
<echo message="Compiling the schema..."/>
<jaxb destDir="${src}"
readOnly="true"
strictValidation="true"
xjcjar="${JAXB_HOME}\lib\jaxb-xjc.jar">
<schemas dir="${basedir}" includes="po.xsd"/>
<targetPackageMapper type="regexp"
from="(.*)\.xsd" to="{deleted root}.generated"/>
</jaxb>
</target>
where ${src} is the root of the source tree and ${basedir} is the parent directory of "generated", containing the build.xml.

More precisely, this is a compile time error for the generated Java classes. The methods
void invalidate()
void validate()
void validate(Validator v)
void validateThis()
defined in
com.sun.xml.bind.validator.ValidatableObject
are not being built for
generated.impl/XTypeImpl.java
which extends
generated.impl/XImpl.java
