Best to make everything use the versions cxf uses
https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.apache.cxf/cxf-parent/3.4.4/pom
<cxf.jakarta.jwsapi.version>2.1.0</cxf.jakarta.jwsapi.version>
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.jws</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.jws-api</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.jakarta.jwsapi.version}</version>
</dependency>
Which is still javax.*
