I'm trying to run my Spring Boot application on Java 9, and I've faced with JAXB problem, which described in the guides, but didn't work for me. I've added dependency on JAXB api, and application started working. If you get the following exception, as a result of missing JAXB missing implementation using Java version >=9:

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