根据链接：Why has AnnotationReader been removed from JAXB reference implementation?，你只需要使用下面的maven依赖：

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>

你需要对代码进行一点重构。看起来你还没有创建模型类的同名字段，它应该像下面这样：Person.java

@XmlRootElement(name="Person")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Person {
    @XmlElement
    private String first;
    @XmlElement
    private String last;
    @XmlElement
    private String age;
    public String getFirst() {
        return first;
    }
    public void setFirst(String first) {
        this.first = first;
    }
    public String getLast() {
        return last;
    }
    public void setLast(String last) {
        this.last = last;
    }
    public String getAge() {
        return age;
    }
    public void setAge(String age) {
        this.age = age;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Person [first=" + first + ", last=" + last + ", age=" + age + "]";
    }
}

Book.java

@XmlRootElement(name="book")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Book {
    private List<Person> person = new ArrayList<Person>();

    public List<Person> getPerson() {
        return person;
    }

    public void setPerson(List<Person> person) {
        this.person = person;
    }
}

ReadXMLFileJaxb.java

public class ReadXMLFileJaxb {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File file = new File(ReadXMLFileDOM.class.getClassLoader().getResource("book.xml").getFile());

        try {
            JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Book.class);
            Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
            Book book = (Book) unmarshaller.unmarshal(file);
            System.out.println(book.getPerson().size());

            for (int i = 0; i < book.getPerson().size(); i++) {
                System.out.println("------------");
                System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getFirst());
                System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getLast());
                System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getAge());
            }

        } catch (JAXBException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

下面的输出我看到：

3
------------
Kiran
Pai
22
------------
Bill
Gates
46
------------
Steve
Jobs
40

虽然问题很老，但仍然回答。根本原因是com.sun.xml.bind现在已经过时了。jaxb是API的最新参考实现。使用下面的JAXB RI maven依赖项可以解决这个问题。

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.11</version>
    </dependency>

我发现的最好的解决方案是使用maven-jaxb 2-plugin，那么你唯一需要的依赖是：

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2/maven-jaxb2-plugin -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.14.0</version>
    </dependency>

通过在POM中添加这两个依赖项来解决错误

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.11</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.11</version>
    </dependency>

您似乎是在IDE中运行它。由于一些奇怪的原因，尽管JAXB类包含在JRE的rt.jar中，

➜  lib jar tvf rt.jar| grep AnnotationReader
  4199 Fri Jan 29 15:35:18 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/bind/v2/model/annotation/AbstractInlineAnnotationReaderImpl.class
  3140 Fri Jan 29 15:35:14 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/bind/v2/model/annotation/AnnotationReader.class
   442 Fri Jan 29 15:35:14 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/bind/v2/model/annotation/RuntimeAnnotationReader.class
  9846 Fri Jan 29 15:35:22 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/bind/v2/model/annotation/RuntimeInlineAnnotationReader.class
  1217 Fri Jan 29 15:35:26 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/ws/model/ReflectAnnotationReader$1.class
  1332 Fri Jan 29 15:35:26 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/ws/model/ReflectAnnotationReader$2.class
  1278 Fri Jan 29 15:35:26 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/ws/model/ReflectAnnotationReader$3.class
  1166 Fri Jan 29 15:35:26 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/ws/model/ReflectAnnotationReader$4.class
  3563 Fri Jan 29 15:35:26 PST 2016 com/sun/xml/internal/ws/model/ReflectAnnotationReader.class

它们在运行时对您的应用不可用。
但是，如果我这样运行应用程序：

➜  target java -cp ./classes com.misc.common.ReadXMLFileJaxb
Book [firstName=null, lastName=Blo, age=33]

从命令行使用标准的Maven结构，它似乎运行。
你的book.xml有点错误，我相信。它包含一个嵌入的person元素，而Book.java没有。您可能需要修复这个问题。

我尝试了以上选项，但没有一个成功。最接近的解决方案是上面的一个，需要一个小版本来解决这个问题：
这不起作用：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>

这样做奏效了：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.6</version>
</dependency>
