Binding - from current 3.2.0.M4 distro.

It seems to have been caused by #11418. You should be able to workaround it by using the add-ons KAR file which does have this dependency. So either that change should be reverted or the dependencies should be added to the openHAB Artifactory by @kaikreuzer.

@wborn I downloaded the file from here and added it to my addons folder but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I restarted openhab after loading the new kar file.

I fixed the dependencies and updated smack to the latest version 4.4.4 including all transitive dependencies. But when configuring a connection, I receive the following runtime exception. Maybe any of you has an idea:

@Flowdalic I just saw that you tried to update smack to a newer version in #9977. Maybe you have an idea as the maintainer of smack :)

The "Xpp3XmlPullParserFactory not a subtype" is not linked to the missing lib on OH repository any more. I would create a new issue to keep things separated. Sadly I have no idea what's the root cause of this second problem.

It appears that @ibauersachs gave an solution here https://discourse.igniterealtime.org/t/serviceconfigurationerror-xpp3xmlpullparserfactory-not-a-subtype/91054/3?u=flow

3.2.0.M5 has the same issue.

Sorry, I thought I did this already, but it must have been fallen off my plate.
The dependency should now be available in Artifactory, so I hope this issue is solved!
