Is the idea of wsdl2java (aegis) really useful?

I'm wondering why anyone would want this. If the user is going to run a
code generator, what's wrong with JAXB? The virtue of Aegis is to avoid
an infestation of snails (@) in existing code. Once you are firing up a
generator, it's new code.

 

I note that Aegis has some not-very-documented capabilities, and I
wonder if some of them are superior to JAXB in some way.

 

Do we ever post some sort of [POLL] to the user list asking 'who would
use this feature' questions?
