javax.xml.bind does not exist

[Jonathon Paarlberg]

Hi, all.

I am trying to follow the tutorial at https://listechsavvy.blogspot.com/2017/12/installation-of-dspace-62-on-ubuntu-1604.html

I try to run step 8, part ii; the code is "mvn -U package". However, I get an error saying:

BUILD FAILURE...Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project dspace-api: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

[ERROR] /dspace/dspace-6.3-src-release/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authority/orcid/xml/Converter.java:[13,22] package javax.xml.bind does not exist

...

After doing some GIMF research, I see that I might need to edit my pom.xml file or enable javax.xml.bind at runtime, but I really don't find exactly how to accomplish that.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It looks as though you may be trying to build with Java 9, 10, or 11:

I don't have an answer for you, but if any tutorial makes you to execute "sudo chmod -R 777 /dspace_build" on all the proyect folder. don't trust it. Look for oficial documentation.
