Can I use the JAXB2 Basics plugin with the MOXy JAXB implementation from EclipseLink? If not, is there an alternate?

Question

Ultimately I want JAXB to generate hashCode and equals implementations. The JAXB2 Basics plugin does that and it works fine for the Metro JAXB implementation in the JDK but fails with MOXy.

I get:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBBinder.updateXML(JAXBBinder.java:131) at org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBBinder.updateXML(JAXBBinder.java:126)

MOXy works fine for me otherwise, i.e. if I get rid of the equals and hashCode generating code, everything is good.

The issue you are seeing is due to a bug in the EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy) implementation of Binder. We are currently working on a fix.
