The import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException cannot be resolved

Question

I just migrated a java project from JDK8 to JDK11.

The project implements Maven dependecy management. The IDE I'm using is Eclipse jee-2018-12. Java version: Dcevm-11 on Trava OpenJDK.

I can't find how to resolve this dependencies:

import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException; import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;

I think I should add a dependency in my pom.xml but I have no clue.

Has anyone fronted this same problem?

Thank you, Giacomo

I'm posting the solution because I hope it'll be useful for someone with my same problem.

I have to say this project agglomerates a lot of small projects with a resulting long list of dependencies.

Investigating maven dependencies, I've found out that a library needed for some print reports (batik) had old xml-apis dependencies.

By excluding these dependencies from Dependency Hierarchy view on my pom.xml within Eclipse, I fixed the problem.

So: pom.xml -> Maven editor -> Dependency Hierarchy -> watch for conflicts -> exclude them
