JDK 10 cannot import javax.xml.namespace in Eclipse

Question

It\'s very strange. I am moving a dynamic web project from Java 8 to Java 10.

The last thing I cannot get the dependency resolved is the javax.xml.namespace.QName cl

Answer 1

There probably is a duplicate dependency pulled in from some other dependency.

In eclipse do

1. "Navivate -> Open Type..."
2. Type in "java.xml.namespace".
3. If there are other results than from your (Open-)JDK, these need to be removed in the following steps. In my case it was xml-apis
4. Open your pom.xml in eclipse, and visit the "Dependency Hierarchy" tab to check which dependency was pulling in xml-apis
5. Type "xml-apis" in the Filter. In my case the top level dependency that was pulling xml-apis was "esapi"

6. exclude xml-apis from the esapi dependency:

   
       org.owasp.esapi
       esapi
       2.2.0.0
   
       
           
               xml-apis
               xml-apis
           
       
   
   
   

7. Right click your Project and choose "Maven -> Update Project...". Check your project and click OK.

That's it
