javax/xml/bind/JAXBException building with gradle

Question

I'm trying to update to gradle 5.4 and thus JDK 11 but I'm having errors when building:

 Task :app:compileDesarrolloDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDesarrolloDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

I've been searching for some solution and I found that I had to add some dependencies on my app/build.gradle because Java 9+ does not install jre anymore:

compile group: 'javax.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-api', version: '2.3.0'
compile group: 'com.sun.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-core', version: '2.3.0'
compile group: 'com.sun.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-impl', version: '2.3.0'
compile group: 'javax.activation', name: 'activation', version: '1.1.1'
compile group: 'org.glassfish.jaxb', name: 'jaxb-runtime', version: '2.3.1'

But I'm still getting the same error:

javax/xml/bind/JAXBException
> javax.xml.bind.JAXBException

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException
:

I found this issue as well.

I added the following to my gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    [...]
    implementation 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.3'
    implementation 'org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.3'

    annotationProcessor 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.3'
    annotationProcessor 'org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.3'
    annotationProcessor 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2'
}

Finally the answer which helped me solve the problem. However, I had to remove implementation 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.3' to avoid error: D8: Program type already present: javax.activation.MimeTypeParseException, and add: ``` android { ... packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.md' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.md' } } ``` to avoid: "More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/LICENSE.md'"

@lrnrzg I don't remember the details, I may have google'd "com.sun.xml.bind replacement" and found the answer.

Note: I'm just trying to make a comment, but do not have enough reputation to make one.

I just ran into this issue today, when attempting to build an Android App with Gradle 6.1.1 (also tried on 5.4.1), and using JDK 11, on macOS 10.15.3 (Catalina).

I fixed this issue by downgrading my JDK, to JDK8, since according to this (How to resolve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException in Java 9), apparently JAXB was removed in JDK 11.

I feel like this is an issue related to a Gradle plugin (possibly com.android.application, or a kotlin plugin), since I built JNI via Gradle with JDK11.

It's not the answer I expected, but in the end I could not fix it in any other way than that. I also had to downgrade the JDK. Weird, it should be possible adding some dependency. For the moment this is the only answer, hope points serve you for commenting next time!
