Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2698 All I did was build/run the unit tests and this time I was able to get everything to pass. Oddly I was able to compile all of the code without jaxb-api but I could not run the tests... I decided not to shade the API because I am not sure where the implementation is, and I would need to shade both.
