--------------------------------------
Github user afs commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/351
The use by Jena is quite simple, string encoding for base64 and hex binary,
and is covered by commons-codec.
This PR adds commons-codec as a dependency for jena-core - it was already a
managed dependency, used in jena-text.
> Stop using javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter
