No @XmlRootElement generated by JAXB

by

I’m trying to generate Java classes from the FpML (Finanial Products Markup Language) version 4.5. A ton of code is generated, but I cannot use it. Trying to serialize a simple document I get this:

javax.xml.bind.MarshalException
  - with linked exception: [com.sun.istack.SAXException2: unable
  to marshal type
  "org.fpml._2008.fpml_4_5.PositionReport"
  as an element because it is missing an
  @XmlRootElement annotation]

In fact no classses have the @XmlRootElement annotation, so what can I be doing wrong?. I’m pointing xjc (JAXB 2.1) to fpml-main-4-5.xsd, which then includes all types.
