Java error: import javax.xml.bind.JAXB

#java #xml #jaxb #maven

I work at one project which is developed on Java 8 (i.e. Java 1.8). I cloned the repo on my computer, I have installed the dependencies and I got this error:

The import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException cannot be resolved

Since Java 11 this library is not contained anymore in Java. I'm running Java 14. So, I don't have it. To fix this I had to add this dependency in pom.xml

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

And that has fixed the project.
