We are trying to switch all our work to be done on Java 13.
I've run into a problem while running Eclipse on Java 13.
We use the Velocity Annotation processor to generate code.
When Eclipse runs the plugin, it is throwing a:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException
...
at org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.internal.ClassServiceFactory.newInstance(ClassServiceFactory.java:30)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.dispatch.IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.discoverNextProcessor(IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.java:96)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.RoundDispatcher.round(RoundDispatcher.java:119)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.java:171)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.dispatch.IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.java:138)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.processAnnotations(Compiler.java:934)

Since the java 13 runtime no longer includes the JAXB classes, it appears that Eclipse will need to be updated to include the relevant .jar.
The .jar is already in our Plugin project, but it appears that Eclipse is referencing it outside of our project.

Any ideas for a workaround? I haven't seen a good way to add the jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar file to the eclipse classpath.

I'm beginning to suspect that something is broken in Eclipse 2019-03 Annotation processing.
I've switch Eclipse back to Java 8, and our project, and out annotation plugin - and it still fails, though with a different exception:
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/velocity/context/Context
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.RoundDispatcher.handleProcessor(RoundDispatcher.java:172)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.RoundDispatcher.round(RoundDispatcher.java:124)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.java:171)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.dispatch.IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.java:138)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.processAnnotations(Compiler.java:934)

That class is in one of the .jar files our annotation plugin uses.

If you are using Apache Maven

Add this to the pom:

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
