MyBatisGenerator failed to run with 'http://javax.xml.XMLConstants/property/accessExternalDTD' is not recognized

Question

I'm trying to use MyBatis Generator version 1.4.2 in Eclipse 2020-03 with Java 1.8.0_111. I just created a data base locally and trying to create some mappers from the config.xml:

<!DOCTYPE generatorConfiguration PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD MyBatis Generator Configuration 1.0//EN" 
"http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-generator-config_1_0.dtd">
<generatorConfiguration>
 <classPathEntry location="C:\Users\.m2\repository\com\mysql\mysql-connector-j\8.0.31\mysql-connector-j-8.0.31-sources.jar"/>
      <context id="Comerzzia" targetRuntime="MyBatis3">
      
        <plugin type="org.mybatis.generator.plugins.CaseInsensitiveLikePlugin"/>
        <plugin type="org.mybatis.generator.plugins.RowBoundsPlugin"/>
      
        <commentGenerator>
            <property name="suppressAllComments" value="true"/>
        </commentGenerator>    
            
        <jdbcConnection connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/xxx" 
            driverClass="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
            password="fuego" 
            userId="xxxx" />
            
        <javaModelGenerator targetPackage="com.comerzzia.fundgrube.backoffice.persistence.lenguajes" 
            targetProject="backoffice-services/src/main/java" >
            <property name="enableSubPackages" value="false" />
              <property name="trimStrings" value="true" />
        </javaModelGenerator>
            
        <sqlMapGenerator targetPackage="com.backoffice.persistence.lenguajes" 
            targetProject="backoffice-services/src/main/java">
            <property name="enableSubPackages" value="false" />
        </sqlMapGenerator>
            
        <javaClientGenerator targetPackage="com.backoffice.persistence.lenguajes" 
            targetProject="backoffice-services/src/main/java" type="XMLMAPPER" >
            <property name="enableSubPackages" value="false" />
        </javaClientGenerator>
            
        <table tableName="d_lenguajes_tbl" domainObjectName="Lenguaje">
        </table>
     </context>
</generatorConfiguration>

   

Every time I run this I get some errors about accessExternalDTD not geting recognized. I saw in some forums that people try to add javax to their projects, but how can I add this javax to a pluging from Eclipse? Is there another way to solve this issue with MyBatis Generator?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The problem was (as commented by Jeff) that my Eclipse version was not compatible with MyBatis.

To solve the issue, the solution was to easily switch to Eclipse version 2021-06.
