符号在模块“java.xml”中声明，它不导出 package“com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations”

Question

On running a mvn clean install -e -X for a cloned repository I am getting the following compilation failure

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-maven-plugin:1.3.21:compile (compile) on project search-service: Compilation failure

[ERROR] ~/src/main/kotlin/com/search/service/resources/Search.kt:[9,53] Symbol is declared in module 'java.xml' which does not export package 'com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations'

[ERROR] -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-maven-plugin:1.3.21:compile (compile) on project search-service: Compilation failure ~/src/main/kotlin/com/udaan/search/service/resources/Search.kt:[9,53] Symbol is declared in module 'java.xml' which does not export package 'com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations'

I am the only person facing this issue, for the other people the build is successful.

mvn -v

I have no experience with Kotlin, but I found your question while searching for an answer for my problem in a Java application.

I experienced this error

Symbol is declared in module 'java.xml' which does not export package 'com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations'

with XpathFactory within the same module after upgrading Java from version 11 to 17. I solved it by importing the xalan library using Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xalan</groupId>
    <artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.2</version>
</dependency>
