/**
 *  Maps a package name to a XML namespace. 
 *
 * Usage
 * 
 * The XmlSchema annotation can be used with the following program
 * elements:
 * 
 
 *   package
 * 
 *
 * 
 * This is a package level annotation and follows the recommendations
 * and restrictions contained in JSR 175, section III, "Annotations".
 * Thus the usage is subject to the following constraints and
 * recommendations.
 * 

 *    There can only be one package declaration as noted in JSR
 *        175, section III, "Annotations". 
 *    JSR 175 recommends package-info.java for package level
 *        annotations. JAXB Providers that follow this recommendation
 *        will allow the package level annotations to be defined in
 *        package-info.java.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
Example 1: Customize name of XML namespace to which 
 * package is mapped.
 *
 *  *    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
 *      namespace = "http://www.example.com/MYPO1"
 *    )
 *    
 *    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
 *    <schema
 *      xmlns=...
 *      xmlns:po=....
 *      targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/MYPO1"
 *    >
 *    <!-- prefixes generated by default are implementation
 *            depedenent -->
 * 
 *
 * Example 2: Customize namespace prefix, namespace URI
 * mapping
 *
 *  *    // Package level annotation
 *    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
 *      xmlns = { 
 *        @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "po", 
 *                   namespaceURI="http://www.example.com/myPO1"),
 *
 *        @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix="xs",
 *                   namespaceURI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
 *      )
 *    )
 * 
 *    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
 *    <schema
 *        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 *        xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
 *        targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/PO1">
 * 
 * 
 *
 * Example 3: Customize elementFormDefault
 *  *    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
 *      elementFormDefault=XmlNsForm.UNQUALIFIED
 *      ...
 *    )
 * 
 *    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
 *    <schema
 *        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 *        xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
 *        elementFormDefault="unqualified">
 *

     * Indicates that this namespace (specified by {@link #namespace()})

     *
     * 
     * This instructs the JAXB schema generators to simply refer to
     * the pointed schema, as opposed to generating components into the schema.
     * This schema is assumed to match what would be otherwise produced
     * by the schema generator (same element names, same type names...)
     *
     * 

     * This feature is intended to be used when a set of the Java classes
     * is originally generated from an existing schema, hand-written to
     * match externally defined schema, or the generated schema is modified
     * manually.
     *
     * 

     * Value could be any absolute URI, like http://example.org/some.xsd.
     * It is also possible to specify the empty string, to indicate
     * that the schema is externally available but the location is
     * unspecified (and thus it's the responsibility of the reader of the generate
     * schema to locate it.) Finally, the default value of this property
     * "##generate" indicates that the schema generator is going
     * to generate components for this namespace (as it did in JAXB 2.0.)
     *
     * 

     * Multiple {@link XmlSchema} annotations on multiple packages are allowed
     * to govern the same {@link #namespace()}. In such case, all of them
     * must have the same {@link #location()} values.
     *
     *
     * 
Note to implementor
     * 
     * More precisely, the value must be either "", "##generate", or
     * 
     * a valid lexical representation of xs:anyURI that begins
     * with <scheme>:.
     *
     * 
     * A schema generator is expected to generate a corresponding
     * <xs:import namespace="..." schemaLocation="..."/> (or
     * no schemaLocation attribute at all if the empty string is specified.)
     * However, the schema generator is allowed to use a different value in
     * the schemaLocation attribute (including not generating
     * such attribute), for example so that the user can specify a local
     * copy of the resource through the command line interface.
