That is generated in the JAXB code, not CXF.    Not much you can do about 
it.   The reason Metro might be generating things differently is they 
may be using a different version of JAXB.   They may be up to 2.1 since 
they are targetting JAX-WS 2.1 right now.

required is definitely a valid property of XmlElement annotation.   If 
you check the JAXB spec, section 8.9.1 defines the XmlElement annotation 
as:
@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD, METHOD}
public @interface XmlElement {
    String name() default "##default" ; // name for XML elemen
    boolean nillable() default false;
    boolean required() default false;
    String namespace() default "##default" ;
    Class type() default DEFAULT.class;
    String defaultValue() default "\u0000";
    static final class DEFAULT {}
}

required is in there.
