Eclipse error: Execution of default goal... A required class was missing..

See original GitHub issue

I have this error constantly marked on my pom.xml. It all works just fine from the command line.

Setup: Windows 10, Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 (Build 20150924-1200), M2e 1.6.2.20150902-0002, maven-jaxb2-plugin 0.13.1

Error:

Execution default of goal org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin:0.13.1:generate failed: A required class was missing while executing org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin:0.13.1:generate: com/sun/xml/bind/api/ErrorListener

I’ll just add a quick comment here on what I’ve found.

This issue isn’t fixed. The only work around to to use version 0.12.1 of this plugin.
The problem is definitely related to Eclipse. Not a problem with the plugin itself.
Removing all Installed JREs from Eclipse doesn’t solve the problem.

To actually fix this problem you must use a JDK to launch Eclipse. I repeat, what matter is whether you use a JDK or a JRE to launch Eclipse not the ‘Installed JREs’. This plugin does not work inside Eclipse unless a JDK is used to launch Eclipse.

To fix this issue you must:

Open up ‘eclipse.ini’ and change the VM like so: -vm C:\data\applications\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin

Once you make this change you can use version 0.13.1 of this plugin.

It’s also worth mentioning that if you use Eclipse you must install an m2e-connector to get this plugin fully integrated. This stack-overflow plugin led me to this p2 repository which once installed got this plugin really grooving.

I suggest we add something to the documentation that explains how to use this plugin with Eclipse 4.5+. It’s very easy to waste a lot of time trying to get this to work and it can definitely discourage new users.

BTW, @highsource , this plugin rocks! Very impressed with how robust this plugin is and its ability to support large-scale schema-first development. Keep up the good work!

Hm… Seems like I really have to repackage XJC to fix this.
