What does the xendorsed attribute do for wsgen and wsimport?

Question

I'm working simultaneously on projects using Metro 1.5 and Metro 2.0. I have not upgraded my JDK to Metro 2.0.

When I run the Metro 2.0 version of wsgen or wsimport (from Ant) I get an Exception saying that I either need to upgrade my SDK or add xendorsed="true" to the Ant wsgen / wsimport targets. I can't upgrade the SDK to use Metro 2.0 since I still have to use Metro 1.5 so I added xendorsed="true" to my Ant targets. This solves the error, but I don't know what effect it has and can't find anything in the Metro docs about xendorsed.

What does adding xendorsed to wsgen or wsimport (e.g. ) do?
