Answer 1

Using Java version 8 resolved the issue for me. I was trying to build using version 11.

I installed JDK version 8 and made Java 8 as the system default instead of Java 11 by adding the following line to bash_profile

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_241`

Answer 2

Switching to 2.5.0 for jaxb2-maven-plugin solved it for java 11.

Answer 3

You can try using jaxb2-maven-plugin 2.3.1 and putting <plugins> inside <pluginManagement> may work.

<pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.5.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.9</source>
                    <target>1.9</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3.1</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>xjc</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>xjc</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <xjbSources>
                        <xjbSource>conf/GlobalBindings.xjb</xjbSource>
                    </xjbSources>
                    <sources>
                        <source>conf/schema</source>
                    </sources>
                    <!-- Package name of the generated sources. <packageName>se.west</packageName> -->
                    <outputDirectory>src</outputDirectory>
                    <clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
                    <noGeneratedHeaderComments>true</noGeneratedHeaderComments>
                    <extension>true</extension>
                    <generateEpisode>false</generateEpisode>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>

Answer 4

I resolve this problem by changing JAVA_HOME from JRE to JDK.
