Maven incorrect version of JIBX getting picked from POM.xml

Question

I have a maven project that is running smoothly on JAVA 7 but recently I wanted to migrate everything from 1.7 to JDK 1.8 but I've started getting error traces because of JIBX libraries. On a similar thread : [Check this StackOverflow link][1]- I found that only JIBX version 1.3.0 or higher is compatible with JDK 8.

So I made the following changes in my POM.xml :

<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<ejb-compile.dependency.ant-nodeps.version>1.6.5</ejb-compile.dependency.ant-nodeps.version>
<jdk-home>${jdk16.home}</jdk-home>
<maven.ejb.skip>true</maven.ejb.skip>
<jaxp.version>1.3</jaxp.version>
<jibx.version>1.3.1</jibx.version>
<distributed.context.api.version>1.1.12</distributed.context.api.version>
<distributed.context.impl.version>1.1.12</distributed.context.impl.version>
<generic.context.version>0.1.2</generic.context.version>
<something.uf.version>2.5.9</something.uf.version>
<!-- JConnect -->
<jconnect.version>0.11.1</jconnect.version>
<jconnect.majorversion>0.11</jconnect.majorversion>

But I'm getting the following stack trace and I have no idea from where it is picking jibx 1.2.2 as is seen in the error :

I also searched for 1.2.2 declaration in my workspace but couldn't find anything, tried in .m2 folder's settings.xml but still no help. Can anybody please provide any leads here? Thanks

Due to the question character limit, here is a link to the full Link of POM.xml - https://ideone.com/IfN9FK

Answer 1

You aren't specifying the jibx version when you declare the jib dependency:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jibx</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jibx-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.0</version> <!-- Here! -->
  <configuration>
    <directory>src/main/jibx</directory>
    <includes>
      <includes>*.xml</includes>
    </includes>
    <verbose>${jibx.verbose}</verbose>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>bind</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Answer 2

For Java 1.8+, use the below dependency. It will work fine. I verified it.

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jibx</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jibx-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.3.1</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>bind</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <directory>src/main/jibx-bindings</directory>
                    <includes>
                        <include>*binding*.xml</include>
                    </includes>
                    <verbose>true</verbose>
                </configuration>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.bcel</groupId>
                        <artifactId>bcel</artifactId>
                        <version>6.3</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
            </plugin>
