Java 12上的Eclipse E4

Question

I'm migration our Eclipse E4 application to jre12 (8 to 12 migration). Everything is working fine when I run the application in my dev envirimont from inside Eclipse. When I build the application using Tycho I'm getting an error when starting the application.

The javax.annotations is configured as a required plugin in our custom plugin. Also I added javax.annotations to our maven file. When I check the libraries inside the builded project the javax.annotation_1.2.0.v201602091430.jar is include inside the plugins directory.

I tried using the module java.se.ee that has been answered in Why won't eclipse oxygen start (for the first time)? . And still the eclipse E4 application cannot find the dependency.

Can someone help me with this?

My target repositories that are in my target file are (full file can be view here https://www.codepile.net/pile/xO8oR272 ):

<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.11/" />
<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-03/"/>
<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/nattable/releases/1.5.0/repository/"/>

<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/nebula/incubation/snapshot/"/>
