AddJaxbAPIDependenciesdetects JAXB use through resolved types. A project compiled on JDK 8 got JAXB from the JDK, so its LST has unresolvedjavax.xml.bindtypes, no dependency was added, and the project no longer compiles on Java 25. New scanning recipeAddJaxbApiForImports, added to the composite: collect compilation units importingjavax.xml.bind.*, map each to the nearest Maven module, and addjakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.x(test scope when only tests import it) unless the module already has it.Found by a team of coding agents reviewing a Moderne run of
org.openrewrite.java.migrate.UpgradeToJava25over eight open-source repositories (run 20261003103223-WtyA8). The issue isjaxb-unattributed-usage-missedin the run'sio.moderne.RecipeIssuesdata table, and the fix was discussed and reviewed on the run's message board. A row from the table, as a generalized example:JAXB usage without resolved types is left without the dependency needed after Java 8. (
