Question

Currently, we are using the java version Zulu 8.42.0.23-CA-win64 while updating the java version to zulu8.64.0.19-ca-jdk8.0.345-win_x64 we are facing the below error.

We are facing an issue in executing the goal for the CXF:cxf-codegen-plugin .

**Error: Failed to execute goal org.apache.cxf:cxf-codegen-plugin:3.2.1:wsdl2java (generate-sources) on project siemops: Execution generate-sources of goal**

Java version : 8 CXF version : <cxf.version>3.2.1</cxf.version>

In case anyone faced the same issue any kind of help is appreciated.

We tried updating cxf version from 3.2.1 to 3.4.5 and also use the same with the java verison zulu8.56.0.21-ca-jdk8.0.302-win_x64.

You need to download the certificate from https://siemops-test.siemens-energy.com and add it to the cacerts keystore of the JDK.

Follow this post JDK 11 import root ca certificates into keystore to see how to import it using the keytool.
