Missing bundle javax.xml [message #1829795]

I am updating my RCP project from circa 2015 to 2020-06. I am getting a missing constraint on the bundle javax.xml after changing the RCP feature.

My 2015 target file included

<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.feature.group" version="4.5.1.v20150904-0015"/>

which provided the bundle javax.xml. I updated this to be

<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.feature.group" version="4.16.0.v20200604-0951"/>

, which does not provide the bundle.

Where is this bundle available from in 2020-06 release ?

More information available on SO on this message.

This is mentioned in the "Plug-in Migration Guide":
https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fporting%2F4.7%2Fincompatibilities.html&cp%3D2_3_10_2

javax.xml is provided by JavaSE 1.7 and higher.

When you are using Java 10 or higher, this might be relevant to you:

Thanks for the link. Still using Java 1.8. Turns out that the Eclipse platform no longer requires javax.xml. There is a separate unit to include in the target

	<location includeAllPlatforms="true" includeConfigurePhase="true" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="false" type="InstallableUnit">
	    <repository location="https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-06"/>
	    <unit id="javax.xml" version="0.0.0"/>
	</location>

Rolf,
Thanks for the direct answer and link to the migration guide!

P.S. The migration guide was super useful as it identified other changes that I need to address.
