Runtime Error: NoClassDefFoundError for javax/xml/bind/UnmarshalException when running ttt-ttv-all.jar

[cfadamp]

When attempting to execute the ttt-ttv-all.jar file generated from the Timed Text Toolkit project, the application fails to initialize the main class com.skynav.ttv.app.TimedTextVerifier. The following error is encountered:

Error: Unable to initialize main class com.skynav.ttv.app.TimedTextVerifier
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/UnmarshalException

The issue indicates that the javax.xml.bind (JAXB) module is not available at runtime, which is required for the application to function properly. This is likely due to the removal of JAXB from the default Java runtime in versions 9 and above.

>mvn -version

Note that, I had to rename ttt\ttt-ttv\src\test\ and ttt\ttt-ttpe\src\test\ folders , see issue #316

Logs of the runtime error are attached for reference.
