Resolution resolution

We need to remove the below bundles from the system/console if present

  1. jaxb annotations v2.9.8
  2. jaxb api v2.3.1

After removing the above bundles, AEM should be left with just these bundles -

  1. jaxb runtime v2.3.2.2
  2. jaxb-api-2.3 v2.3.0.3

Following the above steps, perform a restart of the setup, and you should be able to create Dynamic Media Configurations.
