A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When generating Java-classes with jaxb (xjc) the generated ObjectFactory contains type specification in diamond operators, which is not required anymore in Java SE 8 and above, and results in SonarQube violation: "Replace the type specification in this constructor call with the diamond operator ("<>")."

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Generate java-classes from a xsd with xjc

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
    @XmlElementDecl(namespace = "", name = "item")
    public JAXBElement<String> createItem(String value) {
        return new JAXBElement<>(_Item_QNAME, String.class, null, value);
    }
ACTUAL -
    @XmlElementDecl(namespace = "", name = "item")
    public JAXBElement<String> createItem(String value) {
        return new JAXBElement<String>(_Item_QNAME, String.class, null, value);
    }

"Replace the type specification in this constructor call with the diamond operator ("<>")." SonarQube violation
