I think you need to follow up on the Eclipse or Jakarta EE mailing lists 
about this as JAXB is not maintained here. From what I can tell from the 
release notes [1],  the Java EE JAXB project released 2.4.0 with changes 
to fix the issues they had deploying the JAXB runtime on the module 
path. It was a bit awkward before those changes in that you had to leave 
the runtime on the class path when running with java.xml.bind on the 
module path. I have no insight into why the download on the Eclipse site 
is 2.3.2 rather than the latest.
