Hello

I use the diffplug/goomph plugin to start an OSGI application in my build process. This worked since many months.
Now with Gradle 5, i get this exception:

    at org.gradle.internal.impldep.com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.JAXBContextImpl$JAXBContextBuilder.build(JAXBContextImpl.java:1156)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.istack.Pool

I know that Gradle 5 now supports Java 11, and with that there is trouble with javax.xml.bind.
However I run gradle on Java8.
Is there a workaround?

Hi

Seems i was able to solve it with the help from Ned (Goomph plugin).

Solution is to add istack-commons-runtime to the buildscript deps.

buildscript {
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath "com.sun.istack:istack-commons-runtime:3.0.8"
	}
}

Sorry for the noise
