Support Java 9+/11+ (deprecated/removed JavaEE APIs) #41

Closed Archangel1C closed 5 years ago

Archangel1C commented 5 years ago

Hello, when starting Eclipse with Java 9+, the Editor can't be opened, because the java.xml.bind module is deprecated and thus not added to the module path by default.

The JAXB APIs and dependencies should be packed with the plug-in (or how this is done with Eclipse plugins anyway).

Workaround: With Java 9/10 you can add --add-modules=java.xml.bind to the eclipse.ini to activate the module and make the editor working again. With Java 11+ the APIs are removed and thus can't be activated that way. You should be able to use --module-path path/to/jaxb-api-jars-incl-dependencies (maybe also the --add-modules parameter), but I did not get this to work, yet.

Thanks for reporting. This project was a bit forgotten, but now I'm planning to fix this issue in the close future.
