Well, the bit about parsing XML into the Configuration bean is very  
JAXB-like.  This is why I suggested that Vladimir splits this up into  
2 separate JIRAs - one to annotate the Configuration bean so that we  
can generate meaningful documentation from it - and to actually write  
the custom Doclet to do so, and the second to generate the XSD and  
parse configuration XML files.  Which may well end up using JAXB,  
especially since, as Jason pointed out, JAXB is in Java6.
