Axis2 error when generating wsdl

I'm trying to develop a new webservice using JAX-WS and JAXB annotations. When I deploy the .jar in axis2 and open the browser to retrieve the generated .wsdl I get the following error:

[ERROR] Error occurred generating WSDL file for Web service implementation class {foo.bar.myServiceImpl}

Digging in the source, i notice that the com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.Container is part of the jaxws-rt implementation, which is not part of the Axis2 distribution (could not find it in the /lib/ folder). Why is this? Am I missing a point here?

Ok, got it. I'll post the answer to avoid anybody else banging his (or her) head to the wall.

I had an old JAVA_HOME environment variable set on my system. This pointed to the installer JRE, but it needs to point to the installed JDK. That's all.

I had the same problem. I need to add dependecies to jaxws-maven-plugin. Without these dependecies it throws me the same error

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <wsdlDirectory>src/main/resources/wsdl/</wsdlDirectory>
                <keep>true</keep>
                <sourceDestDir>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/wsimport</sourceDestDir>
                <sei></sei>
            </configuration>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>

                <execution>
                    <id>generate-from-wsdl</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>wsimport</goal>
