[cross-project-issues-dev] Java 11 (OpenJDK 11): javax.xml.bind package

["Keith Chong" <kchong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are other teams affected by the removal of the javax.xml.bind package from Java 11?

Web Tools Platform (WTP) Web services has 'unresolved' references when running with Java 11. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539771.

The solution would simply be to pull the javax.xml.bind package into WTP (from orbit), but, it was originally pulled out of WTP because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=446080
due to OSGi wiring issues. If we proceed with this solution, we might re-introduce the wiring issues when using a Java level (non-Java 11) that contains the deprecated packages.

The info in the two bugzillas indicate that other teams might be impacted by this. Dali (eg. eclipselink packages) and MyLyn. Thoughts?
