Default values for elements missing from generated classes

[pferdwurst]

I noticed that the default values for my element parameters in my schema are not getting translated into the generated case classes.

For example, I have the following xsd snippet:

<complexType name="Foo">
    <sequence>
        <element name="size" type="string" default="large"/>
        <element minOccurs="0" name="color" type="string"/>
        <element minOccurs="0" name="id" type="long"/>
    </sequence>
</complexType>

This is generating the following case class:

case class Foo(size: String,
  color: Option[String] = None,
  id: Option[Long] = None)

Notice there is no default value for the "size" parameter.

My use case is that I am trying to serialize a json string into this case class and cannot make use of any default constructor parameters even though my schema defines them.

Internally we have patched GenSource in order to include the default values but are not entirely confident that there are no adverse side-effects from our modification.
