Java class generation fails with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory, when xjcVersion is set to 3.0.0

[SantoshKumar4]

My build.gradle is like this:
...
...
xjc {
xjcVersion.set("3.0.0")
xsdDir.set(layout.projectDirectory.dir("src/main/resources/xsd"))
defaultPackage.set("com.xx.xxx.xxxx.model")
}

$ ./gradlew xjc --info

_*** What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':integration:lib:restvalidation:validationManager:xjc'.

A failure occurred while executing com.github.bjornvester.xjc.XjcWorker
jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException: Implementation of Jakarta XML Binding-API has not been found on module path or classpath.
- with linked exception:
[java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory]**_

I am using 1.5.1 version.
classpath group: 'gradle.plugin.com.github.bjornvester', name:'xjc-gradle-plugin', version: '1.5.1'

The reason I want to use 3.0.0 version as I want to generate classes with jakarta imports.

If I don't use xjcVersion, then i don't see any issue but it creates files with javax.xml.bind.* and it's not compatible with other part of the code.
Can you please suggest why is it failing and is there anything else I need to do?

We had the same issue with Java 16, Gradle 7.1.1. Like @SantoshKumar4 we were able to get it to work with the default xjcVersion, but we would really like it to work with xjcVersion=3.0.1.

I had to add this to make it working:

    xjc "org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:3.0.2"
    xjc 'org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-xjc:3.0.1'
    xjc 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:3.0.1'
    xjc 'jakarta.annotation:jakarta.annotation-api:2.0.0'
    xjc 'jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api:2.0.1'

it would be nice anyway if this was documented somewhere or set it automatically
