RESTEasy client. could not find author for application type content / xml

Question

I am trying to connect to a web service using RESTeasy.

The code I use is:

WebTarget resource = client.target(URL_DISPLAY);
Builder request = resource.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
ClientResponse response = (ClientResponse)request.post(Entity.xml(text));

The program works as soon as I run it in eclipse.

When I create an executable jar or even launch java from the console, it does not work. The stack trace is as follows:

The DisplayText class is defined as follows:

@XmlRootElement
public class DisplayText implements Serializable

I added the following packages to my pom:

• Resteasy client
• Resteasy-jaxrs
• Resteasy-JAXB provider (version 3.0.8.Final)
• com.sun.xml.bind

all of them are limited at runtime.

What I find strange is that it works under eclipse. Perhaps this is some kind of Jaxb configuration? or contextual settings. I also tried

   RegisterBuiltin.register(ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance());

and it didn’t work.
