With Java 11 the problem doesn't happen.

@gabirezzo this appears to caused by missing class during classloading.

java.lang.NullPointerException at org.web3j.codegen.unit.gen.CompilerClassLoader.compileClass(CompilerClassLoader.java:86)

I suspect this is due to using Java 8, other than OpenJDK which is the only Java 8 being currently maintained.
