BasicLinkSimpleExtensionGroup / SubstitutionGroups not working

[justin slowik]

Has anyone found a solution to the following defects?

I have been able to compile JAK using the latest schemas, but any schema element which utilizes a substitutionGroup such as BasicLinkExtensionGroup does not work, and all arrays always contain null elements.

From what I have read it sounds like the issue comes from the perl script changing the @XMLElementRef annotations to @XMLElement, but if I change them back like this:

    protected String href;
   //@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement(name = "BasicLinkSimpleExtensionGroup")
   //@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchemaType(name = "anySimpleType")
   @XmlElementRef(name = "BasicLinkSimpleExtensionGroup")
    protected List<Object> basicLinkSimpleExtension;
    @XmlElementRef(name = "BasicLinkObjectExtensionGroup")
    protected List<AbstractObject> basicLinkObjectExtension;

I get the following exception:

com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
Invalid @XmlElementRef : Type "class java.lang.Object" or any of its subclasses are not known to this context.
    this problem is related to the following location:
