How to resolve javax.xml.bind for SE-11 by adding external jars?

I have a simple enough program:

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JAXBException {
        JAXBContext context0 = JAXBContext.newInstance(String.class);
        
    }

}

Because I want to use java-11, javax.xml.bind is no longer provided so I need to add it myself. I do not want to use maven but add external jars. As suggested by this https://stackoverflow.com/a/43574427/3014199 I first add jakarta.xml.bind-api-2.3.2.jar and then its dependency per https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/jakarta.xml.bind/jakarta.xml.bind-api/2.3.2 jakarta.activation-api-1.2.1.jar to the module path and mark both for export:
enter image description here enter image description here

Now I get

Error: Unable to initialize main class Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

so I add the other library suggested above jaxb-runtime-2.3.2.jar to the classpath: enter image description here

The error does not change so I add all compile dependencies per https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.jaxb/jaxb-runtime/2.3.2:

to the classpath:

To be sure I again check all jars under "Order and Export", but the error remains. I have also tried adding all jars to module path and adding all jars to class path but to no avail.

On IntelliJ, I went to Module Settings then Add Library then Maven, then I entered javax.xml.ws and added it and voila fixed.

After moving all jars to classpath I got a classNotFoundException for com.sun.xml.internal... upon adding the jar at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-impl/2.3.1, everything works.
