The import javax.xml.bind cannot be resolved

The error “the import javax.xml.bind cannot be resolved” occurs when the Java compiler cannot find the necessary classes from the javax.xml.bind package. This is usually caused by a missing dependency in your project’s build path or a misconfiguration of your development environment.

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the necessary dependency is properly added to your project. In this case, you need to add the JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) library to your project.

Here’s an example of how you can add the JAXB dependency to a Maven project:


<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>


If you are using a different build tool like Gradle, you can add the following dependency to your build.gradle file:


dependencies {
implementation 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1'
}


After adding the dependency, rebuild your project to make sure the necessary classes are available. You should no longer encounter the “import javax.xml.bind cannot be resolved” error.
