 Axis 2.0 - ADB - Howto
Note that ADB is written in a fashion that allows it to be used as a stand-alone schema compiler and also to be extended to generate code for other languages.
ADB comes with a main class XSD2Java that allows the schemas to be compiled just by giving the schema file reference.This main class is pretty much primitive and does not provide much control over the code generation process.
ADB is meant to be a 'Simple' databinding framework and was not meant to compile all types of schemas.

Additionally, the ADB v.2 requires linkages between uses and causes and causes and sources to track the relationships between sources, causes and overall water quality.
Waters with a "Threatened" use in ADB v.2 are treated the same as waters not supporting a use for category assignment.
One advantage of using this methodology is that there is an ADB-RIT extension for ADB v.2 (there is also one for v.1) that assists users in using their NHD-based GIS coverages to calculate waterbody segment/assessment unit size for use in the ADB.

The ADB Toolkits series is intended to help those unfamiliar with the Asian Development Bank to gain an understanding of the institution, the work it does, and why it is important for civil society groups to be aware of its operations.
A success in that at long last, the ADB appeared to be taking some environmental concerns seriously (the passing of the policy was itself evidence of this); and a failure in that much of the language that campaigners wanted in the document was left out.
Furthermore, regardless of what was on paper, there was the question whether the ADB was actually implementing what it had agreed to after the passage of the 2002 Environment Policy and, before that, in the environment-related regulations in the ADB’s Operations Manual.

 Bank Information Center: Unpacking the ADB: A Guide to Understanding the Asian Development Bank
For the Asia-Pacific region, the ADB is the third largest donor (after the Japanese government and the World Bank) lending approximately $5 to $6 billion a year to its developing member countries.
It is startling to note that this agenda is implemented by an institution which is plagued by an inadequate governance structure, using a weak safeguard policy framework, and extending loans to governments that are mostly unaccountable to their citizens.
ADB lending achieves even greater significance in the context of the understanding reached by MDBs to re-commit themselves to high risk/high reward infrastructure projects in the near future.
