+/**
+ * Instructs JAXB to also bind other classes when binding this class.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Java makes it impractical/impossible to list all sub-classes of
+ * a given class. This often gets in a way of JAXB users, as it JAXB
+ * cannot automatically list up the classes that need to be known
+ * to {@link JAXBContext}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * For example, with the following class definitions:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * class Animal {}
+ * class Dog extends Animal {}
+ * class Cat extends Animal {}
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The user would be required to create {@link JAXBContext} as
+ * <tt>JAXBContext.newInstance(Dog.class,Cat.class)</tt>
+ * (<tt>Animal</tt> will be automatically picked up since <tt>Dog</tt>
+ * and <tt>Cat</tt> refers to it.)
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * {@link XmlSeeAlso} annotation would allow you to write:
+ * <pre>
+ * &#64;XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class})
+ * class Animal {}
+ * class Dog extends Animal {}
+ * class Cat extends Animal {}
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This would allow you to do <tt>JAXBContext.newInstance(Animal.class)</tt>.
+ * By the help of this annotation, JAXB implementations will be able to
+ * correctly bind <tt>Dog</tt> and <tt>Cat</tt>.
