java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource on wsimport Intellij java 9

web-services intellij-idea wsdl java-9 wsimport

i'm trying to generate class stubs for a wsdl with Intellij-Idea 2017.2.5 (Webservices -> Generate code from wsdl...) using JDK-9

I'm getting this exception and i wonder how to tell intellij to pass "--add-modules java.activation" to complete the operation.

(i guess i should run wsimport from the command line...)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource

Based on your error message, you need to add the following dependency in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

From SDK 9, for JAXB to work for web services you need to also have the following dependencies if you do not already have them as they are not part of the SDK.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

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

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