[JBoss] JsonBuilder not found with provided dependency javax javaee-api 8

Environment:

• Jboss 7.2
• java 11
• maven

I am trying to add the class javax.json.bind.JsonBuilder but when it compiles it says it cannot find symbol.

On Jboss 7.2 modules directory there is a jar javax.json.bind-api-1.0.0.redhat-1.jar that contains JsonBuilder.java.

Any idea where the problem is?

Error

Ping.java:[3,23] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol: class JsonBuilder
