Ant WsImport2 Fails With java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

Question

I have defined my Ant scripts like this:

<taskdef name="xjc" classname="com.sun.tools.xjc.XJC2Task">
    <classpath>
        <path refid="extraJars" />
    </classpath> 
</taskdef>

<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport2">
    <classpath>
        <path refid="extraJars" />
    </classpath>
</taskdef>

In "extraJars" i have all the required Jars to run the task. Like:

jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar
jaxb-impl-2.2.6.jar
jaxb-xjc-2.2.7.jar
jaxws-tools-2.3.2.jar

Now when I run the script, I get the error:

I did some google, I see that the class com/sun/istack/localization/LocalizableMessageFactory$ResourceBundleSupplier is present jaxb-Impl jar that I included. I checked the Java2s website for that. Can you please tell me where is it going wrong, or do I need some extra JARS for it?

Just wanted to add that the line 740 in the build file is :

 <wsimport wsdl="${build.dir}/src/${wsdl.file}" destdir="build" wsdlLocation="file:/WEB-INF/wsdl/${wsdl.file}" failonerror="true">
        <depends dir="${build.dir}/src" includes="*.xsd" /> 
        <produces dir="${lib.dir}" includes="${webservice.name}${webservice.component}WSBeans.jar"/>
    </wsimport>

Answer 1

I fixed it with an updated version of the JAXB Core Jar.

The missing class was in:

jaxb-core-2.3.0.1.jar

Previously, I was using:

jaxb-core-2.2.7.jar
