Fix sdkmanager java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError batchfile

Question

I get an error trying to run sdkmanager

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema

How can I fix this as I have tried changing to Java 7, 8 and 10, but none is working.

I had the issue as default installation of java was v11

java -version
Should be : openjdk version "1.8.0_252"

Fix:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
Don't worry won't overwrite
Then switch to the correct version via
sudo update-alternatives --config java

confirm correct output from java -version

than run sdkmanager again.

if you have “Could not find or load main class java.se.ee" after then run JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions' – Re Dream Nov 25 '20 at 10:41

This solution works for me on Ubuntu 20.10. Thank you. – Bowser Boss Dec 19 '20 at 22:20

You can try this solution

First open sdkmanager.bat with any text editor

Then find this line

  %JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS%

And change it to this line

  %JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% --add-modules java.xml.bind %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS%

I hope this solves your problem.

What folder is that file in? – ztvmark Mar 10 '20 at 04:15

Sorry for the late response, it's under `android SDK folder/tools/bin` – Amine Mar 12 '20 at 16:05

Note: using `--add-modules` should work up to Java 10, but anything Java 11 or later will not. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/43574427/28037 – culix Jun 09 '20 at 06:02

I had to do the following to fix this error on Windows 10:

Install JDK 8. I had JDK 12 installed but it did not seem to work with that version.
Add Java to my environment variable Path

To add Java to your environment variable Path do the following:

Go to Computer -> Advanced system settings -> Environment variables -> PATH -> and add the path to your local java bin directory. It looks like this: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-versionyouhave\bin
