Starting from Java 9 the JAXB implementation has been removed. So what you have added is only the API and you need to add the implementation also. There might be several alternatives.

As a fix you could add - for example, as there are other implementations also I guess - this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.moxy</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.3</version>
</dependency>

Here is an excellent explanation about this.

Why it has been removed (excerpt from above link):

Java’s standard library isn’t exactly small and lightweight. In the course of the past 20+ years, many features have been added to it, mostly because at the time it was thought that it would be a good idea if Java supported a particular technology out-of-the-box.

One of these was support for XML-based web services. When Java SE 6 was released in December 2006, XML-based web services were popular, so the developers of the Java language thought it would be a good idea if Java would have support for calling web services as a standard feature. It was decided to add the necessary APIs, that were originally developed as part of Java EE, to Java SE. Among these were JAX-WS (Java API for XML-Based Web Services) and JAXB.

With today’s trend towards microservices, it’s important that the Java runtime environment is small and lightweight, so having a large runtime library with built-in support for every possible technology isn’t as advantageous anymore.

Therefore, a proposal was made in JEP-320 to remove the Java EE and CORBA modules from the JDK.

Note about MOXy: you might also need to add jaxp.properties that contains line:

javax.xml.bind.context.factory=org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory

to get rid of problem:

javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Implementation of JAXB-API has not been found on module path or classpath.-

Added yet pretty printed version of comment from Orby that contains dependencies for Sun's implementation:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
