Description

Tidying up the dependencies for my XMLBeans-consuming project, I find that I need to specify an explicit dependency on com.github.javaparser:javaparser-symbol-solver-core, or the interface extension generation step fails with:

> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/github/javaparser/symbolsolver/model/resolution/TypeSolver

For context, I am building with Gradle, and defining the Ant schema compilation task as follows:

ant.taskdef (
        name: "xmlbean",
        classname: "org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.XMLBean",
        classpath: configurations.xbeanconf.asPath
)

It is the classpath in the above snippet that needs javaparser-symbol-solver-core, and it is not pulled in as a transitive dependency from anywhere so I have to declare a dependency on it myself.

Is this intended? Or should javaparser-symbol-solver-core be considered for inclusion as a dependency of xmlbeans itself? Or should I be doing this differently?

Any hints appreciated.
