Description

Hadoop 3.3.1 replaced its dependency of javax.activation 1.2.0 with jakarta.activation 1.2.1.

They are essentially the same thing (they even have the same classpath name), but Eclipse took over JavaEE development and therefore changed group/artifact id. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46493613/what-is-the-replacement-for-javax-activation-package-in-java-9)

See HADOOP-17049 for more details. Hadoop 3.3.0 updated jackson-databind to 2.10 which shades jakarta.activation, causing classpath conflict.

The solution to this issue will be similar to HBASE-22268
