Maven compile fails with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/el/ELContext

It can happen when trying to compile a SOA project that has references to a local file-based MDS.

The workaround is to manually add the javax.el dependency:

1. Navigate to ~/.m2/repository/com/oracle/soa/plugin/oracle-soa-plugin/12.2.1-3-0/oracle-soa-plugin-12.2.1-3-0.pom

2. After adding this dependency run mvn clean & mvn compile.
