[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-5303) preflight-app fails on Java 11+ with NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataSource

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5303?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17433083#comment-17433083 ]

Activation and bind are no longer part of java, you need to add it externally. It's a bit tricky, you need to call the class you're running and then use the pdfbox-app jar and the two other jars as class path. Here an example for windows, the extra jar files are in the lib subdir.

java -cp "pdfbox-app-2.0.24.jar;./lib/*" org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFBox ....
{noformat}

(On linux use ":" instead of ";")
