spring boot - Migration JAXWS application from Java 8 to Java 11

Question

I am looking for compatible combination of org.apache.cxf:cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws with jaxws-api/jaxws-ri on Java 10+.

Our application works fine on Java 8.

Also on Java 9 & 10 with --add-modules=java.se.ee.

But, when i remove this option and add following dependecies:

compile group: 'javax.xml.ws', name: 'jaxws-api', version: '2.3.0'
compile group: 'com.sun.xml.ws', name: 'jaxws-ri', version: '2.3.0.2', ext: 'pom'
compile group: 'com.sun.xml.ws', name: 'jaxws-rt', version: '2.3.0.2', ext: 'pom'

common dependencies (with/without --add-modules in java 9/10, or java 8):

compile('org.apache.cxf:cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws:3.2.6')

I become:

Note sure about sprint boot, but to get JAXWS working in Java 11, I used

    <!-- add back the jaxws SOAP dependendies which were removed in JDK11 -->

        <id>jdk11</id>
        <activation>

        <!-- tested working with OpenJDK 11.0.8 -->
