`flutter doctor --android-licenses` throws `Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema`

• On the installation steps, ran flutter doctor in powershell and it comes up with the following:

I have jdk-16.0.1 installed. Not sure what to do

Hi @sbane256, I have experienced this in the past when using a newer version of the JDK to perform actions such as accepting the Android licenses. I believe that Android still requires version 8, could you try running that command again using JDK 8?

@sbane256
Check above comment and try with JDK 8 to see if it resolves your issue. If it does and running the command again gives you another error like Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema, then you'll need to install Android SDK Command-line tools from Android Studio with which you should be able to accept licenses.

Related to #83648
issue can be resolved by installing Android SDK Command-line tools from Android Studio.

Thanks-still running into some issues:

• Uninstalled JDK 16
• Downloaded JDK 8 from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
• Made sure and tried to see the version on Powershell:

PS C:\Users\banersh> java -version
java version "1.8.0_291"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_291-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.291-b10, mixed mode)

• Ran flutter doctor and still getting the same issue (see below). Also already installed Android SDK command-line tools from Android Studio:

-Tried exiting out and editing variables to include JAVA_HOME and the java/bin in the Path but that didn't help either.

Any help?

Hi @sbane256, sorry that the above didn't work, out of interest do you get the same error running this command?

& "$Env:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\tools\bin\sdkmanager" --licenses --verbose

[sbane256]

Hi @tnc1997, I ran the command & "$Env:ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\tools\bin\sdkmanager" --licenses --verbose and got the following:

There were various licenses agreements after this and I accepted all 7. For example:

Review licenses that have not been accepted (y/N)? Y

Finally got the message:

I then proceeded to run flutter doctor again cause I thought this would have worked, but it ran into the same issue. Is there a problem with not being able to locate java? Not sure...

Hi @sbane256, apologies that didn't work, yeah it looks like an issue with Flutter & Java for some reason. Are there any additional details that you might be able to share by running flutter doctor --verbose? Here's my output for reference:

Unrecognized option: - seems to be incomplete, so can't really know what option is it pointing to. Usually it points to an exe or module which is not recognized.

Keeping this open for further investigation from team.
