How do create enum with Eclipse XSD editor - xsd

Question

I'm creating an XSD for common web service types that will be used in WSDLs. One of the common types I need is an enum.
My problem is when I execute wsimport the artifact generated is a class not an enum.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo's XSD and WSDL editor. This is what I do in design mode to create my enum:
Create new Complex Type (ResponseCodeType)
Add new string element (code) in ResponseCodeType
In the constraints property of code, I add the following constraint values: SUCCESS, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL
What am I doing wrong?
XSD source
<complexType name="ResponseCodeType">
<sequence>
<element name="code">
<simpleType>
<restriction base="string">
<enumeration value="SUCCESS"></enumeration>
<enumeration value="WARNING"></enumeration>
<enumeration value="ERROR"></enumeration>
<enumeration value="FATAL"></enumeration>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
</element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Java source for artifact produced by wsimport
#XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
#XmlType(name = "ResponseCodeType", propOrder = {
"code"
})
public class ResponseCodeType {
#XmlElement(required = true)
protected String code;
/**
* Gets the value of the code property.
*
* #return
* possible object is
* {#link String }
*
*/
public String getCode() {
return code;
}
/**
* Sets the value of the code property.
*
* #param value
* allowed object is
* {#link String }
*
*/
public void setCode(String value) {
this.code = value;
}
}

I figured it out. When I tried designing my enum I created a complex type with an element having the constraints I needed (SUCCESS, INFO, WARN, ect).
What I did instead was to create a simple type with a string element having the constraints (ResponseCode). Then I created a complex type (ResponseCodeType) with an element of ResponseCode.
When I executed wsimport, it generated ResponseCode as an enum and ResponseCodeType class with a ResponseCode attribute.
If anyone has a better approch please comment or provide a better answer.
