Squirrel-SQL throws class not found exception

I am running Squirrel-SQL version 3.9.0 using JDK 10 on MS-Windows 10. I have configured the Microsoft SQL server JDBC driver sqljdbc42.jar along with it's native DDLs to enable native kerberos authentication. But when I try to connect to my database, I get the message JDBC Driver class not found class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter. How do you fix this issue?

Solution

  • I was able to fix this issue by placing the jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar into squirrel-sql-3.9.0/lib folder and restarting the application.
