Description
Description
Description:
When attempting to build the tool from source (mvn clean install) using Java 11 or newer, the build fails on the org.wso2.carbon.privacy.forgetme.logs component.
This occurs because javax.xml.bind and related JAXB classes were completely removed from the JDK starting in Java 11.
Error Snippet:
[ERROR] package javax.xml.bind.annotation does not exist
[ERROR] cannot find symbol: class JAXBContext
Steps to Reproduce
Follow Identity-anonymization-tool documentation
Version
4.7.0
Environment Details (with versions)
Tool Version: 1.3.8
JDK: 11+
OS: Windows

Start with the Identity-anonymization-tool documentation linked in the issue and identify the build-from-source instructions for version 1.3.8. Document the Java 11+ compilation requirements related to the reported JAXB errors, then verify that the instructions address the failing mvn clean install scenario on Windows.
