I think if you set context = null; in your catch block, that you may be able to declare context as final.

oops! I bet you can make your context final if you introduce a local variable inside the static block: static { JAXBContext tempCtx = null; try { tempCtx = JAXBContext.newInstance(Foo.class); } catch (JAXBException ignored) { ; } context = tempCtx; }
