Description

It appears that the plugin camel-yaml-dsl-maven-plugin doesn't retrieve the default name of a property as the JAXB specification states.

Indeed, I have the next mapping:

@XmlElement
@Metadata(label = "security")
private List<SecurityDefinition> securityRequirements = new ArrayList<>();

According the JAXB specification, if a field is annotated with the annotation XmlElement, its name should be retrieved from the attribute "name" if set otherwise it should use the field name.

With the current code, I end up with "security" corresponding to the value of the attribute "name" of the annotation XmlRootElement on the class SecurityDefinition as you can see below:

@Metadata(label = "rest,security,configuration", title = "Rest Security")
@XmlRootElement(name = "security")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class SecurityDefinition {

According to the specification, this behavior is actually only expected with a field annotated with XmlElementRef.
