Is it possible to generate XSD from list of POJOs?

[Francesco Chicchiriccò]

Hi all,

I was wondering how difficult could be to generate an XML Schema (XSD)
out of a collection of Jackson-annotated POJOs.

I have attempted using jackson-module-jsonSchema for obtaining a JSON
schema in first place, which could be translated somehow into XSD, but
could not figure out how to pass multiple classes to
acceptJsonFormatVisitor:

ObjectMapper m = new ObjectMapper();
SchemaFactoryWrapper visitor = new SchemaFactoryWrapper();
m.acceptJsonFormatVisitor(m.constructType(SimpleBean.class), visitor);
JsonSchema jsonSchema = visitor.finalSchema();

Any idea about this or any alternative approach possibly relying on
jackson-dataformat-xml?

FYI, I've initially started this discussion at [1].

TIA
Regards.
