Question

The package org.w3c.dom is accessible from more than one mo

Answer 1

In my case, it was caused by combining the usage of:

• JDK 11
• dom4j 2.1.3 library

As pointed out by others, the root cause is that dom4j and its dependencies (e.g., pull-parser) use some packages names (javax.xml.parsers, org.w3c.dom) that have been used by the JDK.

I had to remove dom4j to solve the problem. Just use JDK's own XML api.
