JAXB shouldn't be required when not using XML configuration
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-302
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-302
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Gunnar Morling
            Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik
             Fix For: 4.1.0


By calling Configuration#ignoreXmlConfiguration() any XML config files (validation.xml, mapping XML files) are ignored by HV. Nevertheless JAXB is required on the class path, as in any case the class org.hibernate.validator.xml.XmlMappingParser (which imports javax.xml.bind.*) is loaded, also if no XML mapping files are to be processed.

XmlMappingParser should only be loaded, when at least one XML mapping exists. While this makes no difference when running on Java 6 (as JAXB is part of the Java runtime itself), this allows to use HV on Java 5 without adding JAXB (and its transitive dependencies) to the class path.
