On the other hand, the way of solving the dependency on the javax.xml.bind could be currently categorized into two categories:-

• Your project uses a library which in turn requires javax.xml.bind, in which case there is not much in your hands other than waiting for that library to move to a modular structure prior to your restructuring. However, this can then be temporarily hacked by the --add-modules javax.xml.bind option provided as the compiler argument.

• Your project makes use of the javax.xml.bind directly. In which case the ideal solution is to move away from the module and make use of the dependency[jaxb-api:2.3.0] and refactor code accordingly.
