I try to use UBL2.1 version. in test method I got the error when try to create invoice from scratch.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String sCurrency = "EUR";

        // Create domain object
        InvoiceType aInvoice = new InvoiceType ();

        // Fill it
        aInvoice.setID ("Dummy Invoice number");
        aInvoice.setIssueDate (PDTFactory.getCurrentXMLOffsetDateUTC ());

        SupplierPartyType aSupplier = new SupplierPartyType ();
        aInvoice.setAccountingSupplierParty (aSupplier);

        CustomerPartyType aCustomer = new CustomerPartyType ();
        aInvoice.setAccountingCustomerParty (aCustomer);

        MonetaryTotalType aMT = new MonetaryTotalType ();
        aMT.setPayableAmount (BigDecimal.TEN).setCurrencyID (sCurrency);
        aInvoice.setLegalMonetaryTotal (aMT);

        InvoiceLineType aLine = new InvoiceLineType ();
        aLine.setID ("1");

        ItemType aItem = new ItemType ();
        aLine.setItem (aItem);

        aLine.setLineExtensionAmount (BigDecimal.TEN).setCurrencyID (sCurrency);

        aInvoice.addInvoiceLine (aLine);

        // Add some TaxTotal
        /**

[phax]

Please use JAXB 2.x only. JAXB 3 requires Java 11 as the basis, but my code uses Java 1.8 for everything. hth
