I'm trying to generate a Web Service Client starting from a WSDL file using the latest Eclipse IDE (jee-2021-03) and apache-cxf-3.4.2.

I get this error:

IWAB0014E Unexpected exception occurred.
Cannot invoke "org.eclipse.jst.ws.internal.cxf.core.model.CXFInstall.getLocation()" because "cxfInstall" is null

I am using AdoptOpenJDK 8 on macOS Big Sur 11.3 (with Apple Silicon M1).
Apache CXF was just downloaded and stored on a local folder.
In Eclipse preferences, under Web Services / CXF 2.x Preferences, I can see my CXF runtime correctly.
It doesn't depend on the WSDL itself, because I'm not able to run the Web Client generation using any other WSDL as well.

The same WSDL was successfully used to generate a client using an older MacBook Pro with macOS Big Sur 11.2.1, Eclipse jee-2020-06, apache-cxf-3.3.7 and Java SE 8 (1.8.0_181).

I didn't find any information on Google about it...

Did anyone runned into the same issue?
