Error description

• APAR Error Description:
  Abstract: Attempts to create JAXB classes using the 'JAXB
  classes' wizard results in a NullPointerException
  Problem: To reproduce this problem, you right click on your
  scehma and select 'Generate ? JAXB classes'.  After filling out
  the wizard and selecting Finish, you get the following
  exception:
  
  Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
  com.sun.tools.internal.xjc.Driver
      at
  com.sun.tools.xjc.ParallelWorldClassLoader.findClass(ParallelWor
  ldClassLoader.java:76)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:660)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:626)
      at com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade.main(XJCFacade.java:43)
  
  The 'Generate ? JAXB classes' wizard belongs to base Eclipse and
  requires additional libraries to be configured in the runtime to
  complete successfully.  A warning normally appears alerting you
  to this.  But if you have the JPA 2.0 feature pack installed on
  your WebSphere Application Server 7.0 then the warning does not
  appear.
  
  Local fix:
  The workaround is to use the RAD wizard to generate your JAXB
  classes when right clicking on your schema file.  This wizard is
  'Generate ? Java'.  Then select the 'Schema to JAXB Java
  classes' option.
