 * 1.  Write implementations of the Generator interface, one each fo
 * Message, PortType, Binding, Service, and Type.  These
 * implementations generate the stuff for each of these WSDL types.
 * 2.  Write an implementation of the GeneratorFactory interface that
 * returns instantiations of these Generator implementations as
 * appropriate.
 * 3.  Implement a class with a main method (like WSDL2Java) that
 * instantiates an Emitter and passes it the GeneratorFactory
 * implementation.
