Do you know of a JAXB setting to prevent **standalone=&quot;yes&quot;** from being generated in the resulting XML?

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; standalone=&quot;yes&quot;?&gt;

Remove &#39;standalone=&quot;yes&quot;&#39; from generated XML

I want the serialized XML output from my Java class to honor the ordering of the properties in the Java class.

It seems that JAXB orders alphabetically.

I can override this by using `@XmlType` with *propOrder* and specifying ALL of the properties, but I have a class with many properties and these are not yet finalized.

I read that specifying an empty *propOrder* would do it but it don&#39;t.

My example class:

	package test;

	import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
	import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
	import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;

	@XmlRootElement
	//@XmlType(propOrder={&quot;company&quot;, &quot;scheme&quot;, &quot;agreementNumber&quot;})
	@XmlType(propOrder={}) // makes no difference - still alphabetical in XML 
	public class CustomerPlan2 {

		private String company;
		private String scheme;
		private String agreementNumber;
	
		@XmlElement(name=&quot;Company&quot;)
		public String getCompany() {
			return company;
		}
		public void setCompany(String company) {
			this.company = company;
		}
	
		@XmlElement(name=&quot;Scheme&quot;)
		public String getScheme() {
			return scheme;
		}
		public void setScheme(String scheme) {
			this.scheme = scheme;
		}
	
		@XmlElement(name=&quot;AgreementNumber&quot;)
		public String getAgreementNumber() {
			return agreementNumber;
		}
		public void setAgreementNumber(String agreementNumber) {
			this.agreementNumber = agreementNumber;
		}
	}

My serialize code:

		CustomerPlan2 cp2 = new CustomerPlan2();
		
		cp2.setCompany(&quot;company&quot;);
		cp2.setScheme(&quot;scheme&quot;);
		cp2.setAgreementNumber(&quot;agreementnumber&quot;);
		JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(CustomerPlan2.class);
		Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();

		marshaller.marshal(cp2, new FileWriter(&quot;C:\\temp\\out.xml&quot;));

Output:
  
		&lt;customerPlan2&gt;
		  &lt;AgreementNumber&gt;agreementnumber&lt;/AgreementNumber&gt; 
		  &lt;Company&gt;company&lt;/Company&gt; 
		  &lt;Scheme&gt;scheme&lt;/Scheme&gt; 
		&lt;/customerPlan2&gt;

I want my output to be (as the property order of my class):

		&lt;customerPlan2&gt;
		  &lt;Company&gt;company&lt;/Company&gt;
		  &lt;Scheme&gt;scheme&lt;/Scheme&gt; 
		  &lt;AgreementNumber&gt;agreementnumber&lt;/AgreementNumber&gt; 
		&lt;/customerPlan2&gt;

Thanks for any help on this.
