Failed to run sdkmanager --list with Java 9

Question

I downloaded and installed:

JDK (jdk-9.0.1_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from Oracle here
Android SDK (sdk-tools-darwin-3859397.zip) from Google here.

After configuring the PATH variable, I tried running sdkmanager, which replaced the android command for managing SDK components. However, it failed as shown here:

$ sdkmanager --list
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema

Here is the Java version:

$ java -version
java version "9.0.1"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

Does anyone know how to fix it without going back to Java 8?

-- Edit: 2017-11-07 --

Please note that you may need to apply the fix above again after running sdkmanager --update, since the sdkmanager shell script may be overridden if the tools package is updated.

As noted in the JDK 9 Migration Guide `--add-modules java.se.ee` should be a considered a temporary workaround. The proposal to drop the java.xml.bind module from Java SE and the JDK is in draft form here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8189188 – Alan Bateman Nov 07 '17 at 08:01
Yes, I am aware of that. As the software in concern is the Android SDK, which is developed by Google, I am not responsible or able to do what you suggested. Please send a bug report to Google. Thanks! – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Nov 07 '17 at 08:18

Why not simply export the `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable, `export JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'`, instead of patching the SDK source files? – Rafa Feb 07 '18 at 23:33
Thanks for your suggestion! That's a good idea! By applying this, there is no need for the user to patch the script again after an upgrade. However, the setting (usually made in shell startup scripts) affects not just sdkmanager, but also other applications as well. And this may not be what the user wants to do. – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Feb 08 '18 at 04:14

FWIW, I downloaded and installed both the JDK and Android SDK Tools today on Windows 10, and had to set the line to be `set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0.." -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee` to get the `com.android.sdklib.tool.SdkManagerCli` class to run correctly – RJ Cuthbertson Feb 20 '18 at 19:06

No way to get sdkmanager (at least of version 26.1.1) to run with Java 11 IMO. You need to downgrade or have a separate installation of Java 8..10 configured in "sdkmanager" source with "JAVA_HOME" override – Slava Medvediev Feb 07 '19 at 06:00

if you are using java 11 or later Try changing this like in sdkmanager.bat "%JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% --add-modules java.xml.bind %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS% -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli %CMD_LINE_ARGS% – amilamad Oct 06 '20 at 18:06

You can set sdkmanager options with SDKMANAGER_OPTS.

Example:

export SDKMANAGER_OPTS="--add-modules java.se.ee"

The accepted answer is outdated as of February 2019. Here's an answer that will work until sdkmanager migrates to a newer version of Java. But by then, you won't have this problem anymore.

OpenJDK 10 was superseeded by OpenJDK 11, which doesn't implement java.se.ee at all. This means that the hack of adding --add-modules java.se.ee doesn't do anything anymore. It also means that OpenJDK 10 will be automatically removed from your system and replaced with OpenJDK 11 the next time you update, if your updates are configured properly.

Modify sdkmanager to use Java 8 by setting JAVA_HOME inside sdkmanager to a Java 8 installation. It's, by default, at ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager.
# Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and SDKMANAGER_OPTS to pass JVM options $
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME" -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions'
@rem Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and SDKMANAGER_OPTS to pass JVM options to this script.
set JAVA_HOME="C:\ProgramData\scoop\apps\android-studio\current\jre"
set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.."
This way, you can keep using a sane and maintained version of Java on your system while simultaneously using sdkmanager.
# Java
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
And now I've got some pipelines to repair.

When having java 11 in the system, the solutions provided are not valid.

This -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee or--add-modules java.xml.bind do not work with Java 11 on Mac OS.

For that reason you have to downgrade java version to version 8 from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

List Java versions installed

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

Java 11

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11)

Java 1.8

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)

Then go to

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin

and

./sdkmanager --licenses

Update 2019-10:

As stated in the issue tracker, Google has been working on a new SDK tools release that runs on current JVMs (9+)!

You can download and use the new Android SDK Command-line Tools inside Android Studio or by manually downloading them from the Google servers:

For the latest versions check the URLs inside the repository.xml.

If you manually unpack the command line tools, take care of placing them in a subfolder inside your $ANDROID_HOME (e.g. $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/...).

Update 2021-03:

The latest stable command-line tools are also available at Googles Downloads-Website

For Windows, if nothing works then try this:

Open sdkmanager.bat with Notepad.
Locate the following line:

%JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS%
Add --add-modules java.xml.bind

The modified line should look like this:

%JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% --add-modules java.xml.bind %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS%

As we read in the previous comments this error is occurring because the current SDK version is incompatible with the newest Java versions: 9 and 10.

So, to solve it, you can downgrade your java version to Java 8, or as a workaround, you can export the following option on your terminal:

Linux:

export JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'

Windows:

set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'

If this does not work try to exports the java.xml.bind instead.

Linux:

export JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.xml.bind'

Windows:

set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.xml.bind'

This will solve this error for the sdkmanager

And to make it saved permanently you can export the JAVA_OPTS in your profile file on Linux (.zshrc, .bashrc and etc.) or add it as an environment variable permanently on Windows.

ps. This doesn't work for Java 11/11+, which doesn't have Java EE modules. For this option is a good idea, downgrade your Java version or wait for a Flutter update.

As some people have mentioned before, this very well could be a simpler problem having to do with one java installation taking precedence over the other.

In my case it was java 8 being overshadowed by a default newer java.

I installed java 8:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

Then I updated the installed java to be the new default:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Whereby I selected java 8's id number.

After doing these (pretty simple) steps, I could just run sdkmanager without error.

Hope this helps someone!

This won’t work: Java 8 no longer exists in Debian stable (1½ years old) and newer. — mirabilos, Sep 30 '20 at 21:57

The Android Tools are still incompatible with JDK 9 or 10. You need to install JDK 8 or, if you need multiple Java versions make sure that the system-wide Java home points to a JDK 8.

Short addition to the above for openJDK 11 with android sdk tools before upgrading to the latest version.

The above solutions didn't work for me

set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.."

To get this working I have installed the jaxb-ri (reference implementation) from the maven repo.

The information was given https://github.com/javaee/jaxb-v2 and links to the https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-ri/2.3.2/jaxb-ri-2.3.2.zip
This download includes a standalone runtime implementation in the mod-Folder.

I copied the mod-Folder to $android_sdk\tools\lib\ and added the following to classpath variable:

;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jakarta.activation-api.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jaxb-runtime.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\istack-commons-runtime.jar;

So finally it looks like:

set CLASSPATH=%APP_HOME%\lib\dvlib-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\jimfs-1.1.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\jsr305-1.3.9.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\repository-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\j2objc-annotations-1.1.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\layoutlib-api-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\gson-2.3.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\httpcore-4.2.5.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\commons-compress-1.12.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\annotations-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\error_prone_annotations-2.0.18.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\animal-sniffer-annotations-1.14.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\httpclient-4.2.6.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\commons-codec-1.6.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\common-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\kxml2-2.3.0.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\httpmime-4.1.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\annotations-12.0.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\sdklib-26.0.0-dev.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\guava-22.0.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jakarta.activation-api.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\jaxb-runtime.jar;%APP_HOME%\lib\mod\istack-commons-runtime.jar;

Maybe I missed a lib due to some minor errors showing up. But sdkmanager.bat --update or --list is running now.

This is the answer to make this work for Java 11 and above since the entire JAXB APIs were removed.

Download Jakarta XML Binding, specifically this zip file. You need only the 3 files within mod folder i.e. jakarta.activation.jar, jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar and jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar and you can toss the rest off.

Move these files to APP_HOME/lib folder. I created a sub folder jaxb inside for this. So, on my macOS system this was: $HOME/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib/jaxb

Now open sdkmanager using your favorite text editor and under CLASSPATH= add the following at th beginning:

$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.activation.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jaxb-impl.jar

So it ended up looking like:

CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.activation.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jaxb/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/dvlib-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jimfs-1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/jsr305-1.3.9.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/repository-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/j2objc-annotations-1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/layoutlib-api-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/gson-2.3.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpcore-4.2.5.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-compress-1.12.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/annotations-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/error_prone_annotations-2.0.18.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/animal-sniffer-annotations-1.14.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpclient-4.2.6.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/commons-codec-1.6.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/common-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/kxml2-2.3.0.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/httpmime-4.1.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/annotations-12.0.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/sdklib-26.0.0-dev.jar:$APP_HOME/lib/guava-22.0.jar

And that's pretty much it, should solve the issue.

I did these steps because flutter doctor --android-licenses was giving me issues. And this fixed it.

If you have installed Android Studio already go to File >> Project Structure... >> SDK Location.

Go to that location + \cmdline-tools\latest\bin Copy the Path into Environment Variables

than it is OK to use the command line tool.

The only working solution for me is to use the java shipped with the Android studio.

set the JAVA_HOME to /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home

in .bashrc

set JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"

If you are using fish shel, put this in ~/.config/fish/config.fish

set -gx JAVA_HOME /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home

(This is for mac, but I am sure it should work with linux and windows by setting the correct path)

This might interfere with other application trying to use the Original/Non-OpenJDK version of Java from Oracle. Eventhough OpenJDK is more than capable, some might need the other one as well. — Jemsheer K D, May 03 '20 at 08:14

JDK 13.0.1, Android SDK 29 , Windows 10

Basically i tried everything, but the most effective and only 1 solution that worked for me was to downgrade to jdk 1.8. I dont why, it is early 2020 and have to downgrade to 1 year old jdk version against latest flutter version. Maybe problem is in windows version, cause jdk 13.0.1 worked for me on macOS 10.15.2. Hope this solution works.

Java 8 was released in march 2014. So it is a bit more than 1 year old... – pqnet May 18 '20 at 18:05
yeah..but Oracle policy has changed since Java 8.....it is not free for organisation anymore. So, everyone are forced to use Java8 – Kedar Sukerkar May 18 '20 at 22:18
The problem is that newer java runtimes (9+) do not have javax libraries, you are supposed to ship them with your application. So software written expecting to run on java 8 and before do not ship these libraries, and thus won't work on 9+. The reason, as you guessed, is to make the standard JDK fully open source (these libraries are not GPL), so I would say that the license terms improved. – pqnet May 19 '20 at 11:57

Define home directories of different JDK versions in your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export JAVA_8_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v1.8)
export JAVA_14_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v14)

First of all use JDK version 8. Put this line the top of sdkmanager file:

export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_8_HOME

Switch back to JDK version 14. Put this line the bottom of sdkmanager file:

export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_14_HOME

Apparently if you use "commandlinetools" version greater than 3.6.0 you may use JDK11+ to install Android SDK components.

https://adoptopenjdk.net currently supports all distributions of JDK from version 8 onwards. For example https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html#x64_win

Here's an example of how I was able to use JDK version 8 with sdkmanager and much more: https://travis-ci.com/mmcc007/screenshots/builds/109365628

For JDK 9 (and I think 10, and possibly 11, but not 12 and beyond), the following should work to get sdkmanager working:

export SDKMANAGER_OPTS="--add-modules java.se.ee"
sdkmanager --list

As I recall, I think you have to download the jar file that contains java.se.ee and add it to the path (or something similar). AFAIK Oracle unbundled J2EE-related jars from the JDK for 12 and beyond. Did not test this with sdkmanager. – mmccabe Jun 17 '19 at 06:42

It's very simple, just export the JAVA_HOME environment variable, set to the path of your JDK installation.

I installed Java manually on Ubuntu, and so for me this looks like:

export JAVA_HOME="$HOME/pkg-src/jdk1.8.0_251"

And make sure it exists in your path too...

export PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME"
