JAXB and Java 11 module-info.java

Question

My environment:

java -version
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.2.9.1 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.2.9.1 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)

Maven dependencies:

<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-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

And a simple program:

public static void main(String[] args) throws JAXBException {
    JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Person.class);

    Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
    marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);

    Person person = new Person(1L, "Thomas");
    marshaller.marshal(person, System.out);
}

At this point, everything works just fine.

Then I add module-info.java:

module com.thanh {
    requires java.xml;
    requires java.xml.bind;

    opens com.thanh;

    exports com.thanh;
}

And exception:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Implementation of JAXB-API has not been found on module path or classpath.
 - with linked exception:

    ... 4 more

How can I get JAXB work with Java 11 module?

I need module for my JavaFX project.

Thank you!

Have you read [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/48204154/706317)? Try to use `jakarta.xml.bind-api` and `jaxb-runtime` instead. — ZhekaKozlov, Jun 04 '20 at 09:53
Thank you @ZhekaKozlov , I have replaced dependencies as you suggested and now it works. — ThanhLoyal, Jun 04 '20 at 15:26

According to JAXB official page, you should use these dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.3</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.3</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

`com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl` [has been deprecated](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-impl). The new runtime is `org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime`. – Abhijit Sarkar Mar 24 '21 at 06:12
Where can I find the xml file? I could not find it anywhere for the software I am using (nifi registry) – tmlai Jul 14 '21 at 23:05
