Answer 3

In my case adding:

javax.xml.accessExternalDTD = all

My environment is linux mint 17 and java 8 oracle. I'll put it there as an answer for people with the same problem.

Answer 4

Well, I found the solution. (based on http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/XMLConstants.html#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA)

Create a file named jaxp.properties (if it doesn't exist) under /path/to/jdk1.8.0/jre/lib and then write this line in it:

javax.xml.accessExternalSchema = all

That's all. Enjoy JDK 8.

I run ant builds within Eclipse IDE (4.4, Luna, on Windows 7 x64). Rather than modifying the installed JRE lib or any ant scripts (I have multiple projects that include XJC in their builds), I prefer to change Eclipse Settings "External Tools Configurations" and add the following to the VM arguments for the Ant build configuration:

-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema=all

Answer 6

If you are using ant you can add a jvmarg to your java calls:

<jvmarg value="-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema=all" />
