| [ptp-dev] PTP java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: for com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.ContextFactory |
I'm looking at this problem since it affects my plugin once Java 8 is no longer supported. I'm not sure I'm anywhere near on the right track to figure this out. I found quite a few references to this problem within the past year by Google search using the words ContextFactory and Eclipse, a number of which refer to PTP bug 541264
My understanding of the solutions suggested are to use versions 2.2.0 of the com.sun.xml.bind and javax.xml.bind, which I think means I need to find repositories that have these versions of the packages.
I tried updating the photon.target target definition file to use a later Orbit repository, I20190320195810 which seems to have these, but that did not help. I also found https://www.jesperdj.com/2018/09/30/jaxb-on-java-9-10-11-and-beyond/ which explains how to specify a dependency for a maven build, but I'm not sure where this gets specified.
Am I anywhere near the right track to figure this out?
