I'm currently trying to get Java 11 with my Equinox based application up and running. I think that I already got quite far - but I can't seem to get a proper JAXB Implementation to work.

I already filed https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-api/issues/78 for the problem I have with jaxb-api - but after manually patching the problem within my IDE I still face the same exception, but only with the correct name.

So I'm not sure about the following things:

* Is this package event meant for OSGI usage? If not
* Is there a tutorial on how to get the JAXB stuff for Java 11 running in your OSGI environment?

I found some packages like https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-osgi/2.4.0-b180830.0438/jar but I don't know what to do with them; how to integrate them. And I even can't find a documentation for this.

Due to the fabulous help of the Lukas and Roman in https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-api/issues/78 it does not work. The steps necessary are:

1. Integrate the following plugins to your target

com.sun.xml.bind.jaxb-osgi (2.4.0-b180830.0359)
jaxb-api (2.4.0-b180830.0359) // Version is relevant!
jaxb-core

2. Add to your bundles manifest Import-Package: com.sun.xml.bind.v2
3. Switch to a JAXBContext.newInstance variant where you provide a classloader from within your bundle (this might require you to create a jaxb.index file)
