Issue
I am using jaxb2-maven-plugin version 1.6 to run the goal xjc. It's failing with the below error. I checked in the .m2 folder and it does have the javax activation jar. I even tried deleting the .m2 folder and building it again but getting the same error.
Below are the versions of maven and Java I am using
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.3_1/libexec

Solution
The problem was the maven version. Brew was always installing it with OpenJDK 14 dependency. I downloaded maven and followed the installation instructions from here. Then I did mvn clean and built the project again. Voila! The problem got solved.
