Create withNew methods for choices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When we have some structure like this:


 * <pre>
 * &lt;complexType>
 *   &lt;complexContent>
 *     &lt;restriction base="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType">
 *       &lt;choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
 *         &lt;group ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}marker_List"/>
 *         &lt;group ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}block_List"/>
 *         &lt;group ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}neutral_List"/>
 *         &lt;group ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}float_List"/>
 *         &lt;group ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}footnote_List"/>
 *       &lt;/choice>
 *       &lt;attGroup ref="{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}inheritable_properties_List"/>
 *       &lt;attribute name="flow-name" use="required" type="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string" />
 *     &lt;/restriction>
 *   &lt;/complexContent>
 * &lt;/complexType>
 * </pre>


JAXB generates this structure:


    @XmlElements({
        @XmlElement(name = "block", type = Block.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "multi-properties", type = MultiProperties.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "wrapper", type = Wrapper.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "retrieve-marker", type = RetrieveMarker.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "footnote", type = Footnote.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "marker", type = Marker.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "float", type = Float.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "multi-switch", type = MultiSwitch.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "list-block", type = ListBlock.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "table", type = Table.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "block-container", type = BlockContainer.class),
        @XmlElement(name = "table-and-caption", type = TableAndCaption.class)
    })
    protected List<Object> markerOrBlockOrBlockContainer;


I would be very very useful to have one withNew method for each choice, in 
order to add new elements to markerOrBlockOrBlockContainer and hide this 
List<Object> type.
