JAXB annox and getting error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.codemodel.JAnnotatable.annotations()Ljava/util/Collection

Question

Hi I am using JAXB annox with ant xjc and getting the following error
C:_Dev\build\abcSupplierDomain.xml:479: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

com.sun.codemodel.JAnnotatable.annotations()Ljava/util/Collection;
        at org.jvnet.jaxb2`enter code here`_commons.plugin.annotate.Annotator.annotate(Annotator.java:62)
        at org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons.plugin.annotate.AnnotatePlugin.annotate

Can some one pelase tell me what is the cause of this error? I have downloaded all the JAXB 2.* jars for doing this as org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons.xjc.XJC2Task is supported in jaxb2-basics-annotate-0.6.4.

Below is my xjb file and build.xml

Answer 1

jaxb2-basics-annotate 0.6.4 requires JAXB 2.2.x, looks like you are using an older version of JAXB 2.
