How do you modify an xjc block in ANT build.xml for Java 9?

Question

I have a build.xml file that uses xjc to generate some Java classes. Everything builds fine in Java 1.8, but updating to Java 9 causes the following error:

xjc-gen-boxes:
  [xjc] C:\Users\dev\Documents\Dev\bc\bcce2\build\gensrc\co\boxes\v2 is not found and thus excluded from the dependency check
  [xjc] Compiling file:/C:/Users/dev/Documents/Dev/bc/bcce2/co/src/co/kat/install/boxes/Box.xsd

BUILD FAILED

The error occurs when reaching this point in the build.xml file:

<taskdef name="xjc" classname="com.sun.tools.xjc.XJC2Task">
    <classpath>
        <pathelement path="${basedir}/lib/webservices-tools.jar"/>
        <pathelement path="${basedir}/lib/webservices-rt.jar"/>
        <pathelement path="${basedir}/lib/jaxb-commons-lang-plugin-2.2.jar" />
        <pathelement path="${basedir}/lib/commons-lang-2.4.jar" />
    </classpath>
  </taskdef>

<target name="xjc-gen-boxes">
    <xjc destdir="${path.out.gensrc}">
          <arg value="-Xcommons-lang"/>
          <schema dir="${boxes.schema.home.translated}" includes="*.xsd"/>
          <produces dir="${path.out.gensrc}/co/boxes/v2"/>
    </xjc>
</target>

I've tried utilizing the xjc.exe found in the JDK directory, but a comparison between the baseline and Java 9 build revealed files missing or incomplete. Here's what I did with that, if it helps:

<target name="xjc-gen-boxes">   
    <mkdir dir="${path.out.gensrc}/co/boxes/v2"/> 
    <exec executable="${env.JAVA_HOME}/bin/xjc.exe">
        <arg value="${boxes.schema.home.translated}/*.xsd"/>
        <arg value="-d"/>
        <arg value="${path.out.gensrc}"/>
        <arg value="-classpath"/>
        <arg value="${basedir}/lib/commons-lang-2.4.jar"/>
        <arg value="${basedir}/lib/jaxb-commons-lang-plugin-2.2.jar"/>
        <arg value="${basedir}/lib/webservices-rt.jar"/>
        <arg value="${basedir}/lib/webservices-tools.jar"/>
    </exec>
</target>

Is there a way to modify the build.xml file so that xjc can still work? Any suggestions are welcome.

Do you find the solution of this? I am facing the similar issue while moving to JAVA 10 from JAVA 8. I am using classname="com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCTask" . — vibhas, Jul 26 '18 at 10:47

Author of JAXB2 Basics here.

Check JAXB2 Basics releases, there are Ant sample projects (for instance the Purchase Order sample).

Here's the relevant part:

<target name="generate-sources">
    <taskdef name="xjc" classname="org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons.xjc.XJC2Task">
        <!-- XJC2 Task classpath -->
        <classpath>
            <fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">

                <include name="jaxb-impl-*.jar"/>
                <include name="jaxb-runtime-*.jar"/>

        </classpath>

        <binding dir="${basedir}/src/main/resources">
            <include name="**/*.xjb"/>
        </binding>
        <schema dir="${basedir}/src/main/resources">

            </fileset>
        </classpath>
    </xjc>
</target>

Not sure about your environment, but the Java EE modules, including JAXB, are not resolved by default. Please refer to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/toc.htm#JSMIG-GUID-F640FA9D-FB66-4D85-AD2B-D931174C09A3
