Licensing options using jaxb implementation

Dear all,

I'm not quite sure this is the correct place to ask but maybe some
developers have already had the same issue and could help me.

We are thinking about releasing our work under the EUPL, however the
jaxb implementation we use is released under CCDLv1.1+GPLv2
(https://jaxb.java.net/2.2.6/).
We are using the library via maven, so not modifying any code but using
it as a library - the library is then assembled into our application
(inside 1 jar - as I understood, called "static linking").

So my question is: would it be possible to release our work under EUPL
as it is? Or should we extract the library into a "lib" directory
("dynamic linking"?)? Would that be allowed? Or should we altogether
think about releasing it under a different open source license?

Thanks for the help,
Yoann
