JAXB globalBinding for anonymous enums - xsd

Question

I'm trying to generate the java classes using JAXB for the below XSD.
And I had to use the below bindings file to generate enum classes for any simple element derived from xs:string and that has enumeration facets.
However it always generates a String instead...
(Note: I cannot change the XSD)
see typeSafeEnumBase here
bindings.xjb file:
<jaxb:bindings
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
jaxb:version="2.0">
<jaxb:globalBindings typesafeEnumMemberName="generateName" typesafeEnumBase="xs:string"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
test.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com"
xmlns="http://www.example.com"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="ElementName">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="MY_ENUM_1"/>
<xs:enumeration value="MY_ENUM_2"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Root">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="ElementName"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
command:
xjc -verbose test.xsd -b bindings.xjb
Generated java class:
Root.java

You must add following bindings
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:element[#name='ElementName']/xs:simpleType">
<jaxb:typesafeEnumClass name="ElementName" />
</jaxb:bindings>
