"Invocation of com.sun.tools.ws.wscompile.WsimportTool failed" Error During Compilation With JDK 1.8

I am working on a project and trying to migrate from compiler ver. from JDK 1.7 to 1.8. I have received the below error on one of the modules during build and I am not able to solve it.

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:jaxws-maven-plugin:2.6:wsimport (default) on project wae-client-jar: Invocation of com.sun.tools.ws.wscompile.WsimportTool failed - check output 

I am using IntelliJ and my Maven version is 3.6.3.

Here is the related part of my pom.xml:

<plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>wsimport</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <wsdlDirectory>src/main/wsdl</wsdlDirectory> <packageName>com.company.wae.client.ebif.eps.sopi.wsdl</packageName> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId> <version>2.1.6</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId> <version>2.1.6</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.company.wae.base</groupId> <artifactId>wae-jboss-lib</artifactId> <version>9.8.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> </plugins> 

So far I have tried,

-Updating plugin configuration as below

 <configuration> <wsdlDirectory>src/main/wsdl</wsdlDirectory> <packageName>com.company.wae.client.ebif.eps.sopi.wsdl</packageName> <vmArgs> <vmArg>-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema=all</vmArg> </vmArgs> </configuration> 

-Changing the version of jaxws-maven-plugin to 2.4.1 and adding below dep. to the plugin

 <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-tools</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> 

-Building the not only that module but whole project as well.

-Deleting jaxws-maven-plugin and jaxws-tools folders from local repo m2.

-Checked the JAVA_HOME path to see if points to JDK1.8. Checked the project SDK (JDK 1.8)

which were all mainly mentioned here.

None of these help.

I was able to solve this issue by fixing the errors when mvn install -e is used.

• First of all I upgraded the jaxb-impl and jaxb-xjc versions from 2.1.6 to 2.2.10.

• I added below jaxb-core and jaxws-tools dependencies.

Here is the updated part of my pom.xml:

<plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>wsimport</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <wsdlDirectory>src/main/wsdl</wsdlDirectory> <packageName>com.company.wae.client.ebif.eps.sopi.wsdl</packageName> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.company.wae.base</groupId> <artifactId>wae-jboss-lib</artifactId> <version>9.8.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId> <version>2.3.0.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-tools</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> </plugins>
