AccessorType patch

[jpkutner]

Hello,

I needed a feature from Simple XML that was not provided so I added it
to the sources and built myself.  I would like to submit my patch back
to the project.

This new feature is similar to the @XmlAccessorType annotation in JAXB:
https://jaxb.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1/docs/api/javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlAccessorType.html

When you add this annotation to a class it automatically picks up the
Java Bean properties (getters and setters) as @Elements or
@ElementLists.  This has been important to my application because each
of my classes has tens of properties, and I have hundreds of classes.
The feature still allows you to override the default annotation values
by explicitly annotating certain properties.  See my example of the
kinds of things allowed.

I would very much like to see this patch make its way into the trunk.
So I am willing to rework it in order to better fit the overall vision
of the project.  Please let me know what is needed to make this
happen.

Thanks,

Joe Kutner

@Root
@AccessorType(AccessType.PROPERTY)
public class Foobar {
  private String one;
  private List<String> two;
  private int three;
  private Date four;

  // no need to annotate this
  public String getOne() {  ...  }

  // no need to annotate this
  public void setOne(String one) {  ...  }

  // no need to annotate this
  public List<String> getTwo() {  ...  }

  // no need to annotate this
  public void setTwo(List<String> two) {  ...  }

  @Transient
  public void getThree() { ... }

  @Transient
  public void setThree(int three) { ...}

  @Element(name = "mydate")
  public Date getFour() { ... }

  @Element(name = "mydate")
  public void setFour(Date four) { ...}
}
