Include JAXB using Maven

Question

Working on my 1.6.0_16 JDK, I generated my stub classes from a WSDL using Apache CXF 2.5.2, which uses the most recent jaxb-api 2.2. I know it\'s possible to have it use jax

Answer 1

I just ran into this issue with jaxb also; goodness do I love Maven (not). Here's how I resolved the problem.

Add the central repo

<repository>
    <id>central</id>
    <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url>
</repository>

Modify the version of the api and impl

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.7-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.5-b10</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Add

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>

and

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>central</id>
        <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Answer 3

FYI: Both Paul and Do Nhu Vy's answers are correct, but if you encountered error message like below, please change repository to HTTPS:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project hibernate: Could not resolve dependencies for project edu.baylor.cs.se:hibernate:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:jar:2.2.7: Failed to read artifact descriptor for javax

01 HTTPS Required -> [Help 1]

Add those in pom.xml file.
