JSword comes with JAXB, so you shouldn't need to download anything new. 
However there is one trick documented at the top of the build.xml where 
you need to run ANT to use JAXB to generate the classes from the OSIS 
schema before eclipse will compile everything. Maybe this was the problem?

Yup. JAXB 0.9 is included, and you're right I do need to upgrade.
I'll shout when it is done. While I'm at it I think there is a new 
version of OSIS out. I'm on 1.1, but I think there is a 1.2

What does everyone think about including generated source in CVS? I'm 
fairly against it because the ant script should check all the 
dependancies and do all the work for you, so the only barrier should be 
understanding.
In addition adding the stuff to CVS makes for even bigger source trees, 
(source .zips are 8Mb already!) and it makes it possible for things to 
get out of sync, both in CVS and in peoples personal trees, and it slows 
CVS check-in/outs.

I'm going to be updating the website soon so I'll add some stuff on this.

Joe.
