version of jaxb-xjc

[kunlinyu]

could you please upgrade:
jaxb-xjc:3.0.0-M4
to:
jaxb-xjc:3.0.0
?
I think the jaxb-xjc:3.0.0 is more official than 3.0.0-M4. And it contain some feature I need.

"xjc30CompileOnly"("com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:3.0.0-M4")

"com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:3.0.0-M4",

And It is not configurable.

Attempted and failed using the xjcTool

xjcTool 'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:4.0.1'

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot handle XJC version: 4.0
at org.unbrokendome.gradle.plugins.xjc.XjcGenerate.generate(XjcGenerate.kt:199)

At this time (version 2.0.0), I can generate and compile JAXB for newer versions with:

dependencies {
    xjcTool 'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:3.0.2'
    xjcTool 'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:3.0.2'  // documentation isn't so clear on needing this too
    implementation 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:3.0.1'
}

Unfortunately you can not do the same for v4 due to a coded version block, which I'll attempt to create a PR to remove.

Use gradle with --info for additional information to confirm versions in use.

The documentation indicates when specifying xjcTool the use of xjc.xjcVersion is not needed. This seems to be what I have seen as it will use the default latest default -target version for the jaxb-xjc and jaxb-impl being used to generate.

The documentation does indicate that when something is present in xjcTool the plugin doesn't inject its own versions
https://unbroken-dome.github.io/projects/gradle-xjc-plugin/#_setting_the_xjc_tool_classpath_explicitly.

It maybe good to spell out this somewhere in documentation, since that is probably a common requirement as time moves on to lower maintenance burden.

All the matters reported here should be addressed in PR #47 (XJC tool version compatibility with 3.x and 4.x in the jarkarta era)

I have migrated from this repository to writing my own jaxb code how it is described in this old blog post --> https://roytuts.com/generating-jaxb-classes-from-xsd-using-gradle/

I have full controll over the jaxb version I am using and I am not depending on this project.
It feels like this repository is no longer maintened. (last commit 3 years ago)

The solution described in the tutorial is simple and works with spring boot 3 and java 17.
