Java 9: Module java.xml.bind is not accessible in Eclipse
When compiling an unnamed module, java.xml.bind
is not accessible by default, but in a modular project (as in this question) failing to resolve reference to module java.xml.bind
was a bug (see edit below).
To work around this until the bug is fixed, you can explicitly include module java.xml.bind
by double click on Is modular
(see screenshot in the question), and in the dialog that shows, move the desired module from Available modules
to Explicitly included modules
:
Edit: Bug 526054 has been resolved in Eclipse Oxygen.2, and thus a modular project should no longer need the steps above (which are still relevant for code in an unnamed module, though).
Edit 2: In Eclipse 2019-06 the UI for tasks like above has been revamped. Up-to-date documentation can be found in the online help.
