Error when loading projects in Central with Java 9 -------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-19425 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19425 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: central Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Fred Bricon Labels: Java9 Fix For: 4.3.x Today I wanted to try out the latest build of Oracle JDK 1.9 beta and discovered a problem with central. When I started JBDS, I immediately got an error window pop up: {code} Refreshing JBoss Tutorials... has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: "Refreshing JBoss Tutorials...". javax/xml/bind/JAXBException {code} This is in the workspace log: {code} !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2015-03-10 17:12:52.346 !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Refreshing JBoss Tutorials...". !STACK 0 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException at org.jboss.tools.project.examples.model.ProjectExampleUtil.fetchCategories(ProjectExampleUtil.java:389) at org.jboss.tools.project.examples.model.ProjectExampleUtil.getProjects(ProjectExampleUtil.java:266) at org.jboss.tools.project.examples.model.ProjectExampleUtil.getProjects(ProjectExampleUtil.java:257) at org.jboss.tools.central.jobs.RefreshTutorialsJob.run(RefreshTutorialsJob.java:52) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException cannot be found by org.jboss.tools.project.examples_3.0.0.Alpha1-v20150213-0945-B3 at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:439) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:352) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:344) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.ModuleClassLoader.loadClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:160) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:356) ... 5 more {code} I used JBDS 9.0.0.Alpha1 installed on OS X 10.10 Yosemite with Oracle JDK 1.9: {code} nattura:9.0.0 rasp$ java -version java version "1.9.0-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.9.0-ea-b53) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.9.0-ea-b53, mixed mode) {code} The consequence of this is that the "Start from scratch" section in Central is not loaded and shows "No entries found". Note: When I installed the same JBDS with Java 8, there was no error.
