You can probably achieve most of this, though it will require some effort
and for a large schema with many types, may be quite tedious.

You need to download the source code archive, not the pre-build binary.
Specifically, xsd-4.0.0+dep.tar.bz2 from:

https://codesynthesis.com/download/xsd/4.0/

Then follow the instructions in:
