Exception - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.mojo.jaxws.Invoker

[lahirujayathilake]

I am using org.codehaus.mojo:jaxws-maven-plugin:2.6 to generate stub code using a WSDL and I am getting the error

[INFO] jaxws:wsimport args: [-keep, -s, 'C:\<path>\target\generated-sources\common\java', -d, 'C:\<path>\target\classes', -encoding, UTF-8, -extension, -Xnocompile, -XadditionalHeaders, -B-Xinheritance, -b, 'file:/C:/<path>/bindings.xml', "file:/C:/<path>/FiskalizacijaService.wsdl"] Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.mojo.jaxws.Invoker Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.mojo.jaxws.Invoker

Maven plugin looks like

`

This works in JDK 8 but doesn't work with the JDK9
