   I'm afraid that's neither possible nor desirable, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46493613/what-is-the-replacement-for-javax-activation-package-in-java-9.

   This is not desirable as this causes errors with many libraries

   What happens exactly? Have you reached out maintainers of those other libraries? Are they even maintained?

   You're welcome :)

   Long story short: javax.activation packake shipped in JDK is going away and pulling com.sun.activation:javax.activation:1.2.0 is the proper long term way.
