JAXB can't handle interfaces.

I have this particular payload:

@XmlRootElement(name = "data")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccess.Field)
public class ResponsePayload{

@XmlElement(name = "messages")
@Setter
@Getter
private List<Map.Entry<String,String> messages
}

JAXB was working fine for converting the class to json payload with apache cxf 3.1.1.

But with 3.1.2 it throws the following error:

Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
java.util.Map$Entry is an interface, and JAXB can't handle interfaces.
this problem is related to the following location:
