Plugin fails when running under Java 9

[jasondlee]

If I create a new RCP application, make no changes, and run the build, I get this (cleaned up a bit):

$ mvn -e -X clean install
...
Number of foreign imports: 1
import: Entry[import  from realm ClassRealm[maven.api, parent: null]]

do you have some kind of more complete stacktrace? from a quick glance it looks like an issue with maven itself or some maven lib the branding goal is using.

@jasondlee are you using the last version of the plugin ?

As best as I can tell:

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                    <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>4.1</version>
                    <extensions>true</extensions>
                    <configuration>
                        <brandingToken>${brandingToken}</brandingToken>
                        <cluster>${brandingToken}</cluster>
                        <useOSGiDependencies>true</useOSGiDependencies>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>

That's the most complete stack trace I've been able to dig out of Maven. I'm at the office at the moment and don't have access to that workspace at the moment, but I can try to wrangle more details out of Maven this evening.

This is the log file from mvn -X clean install. Is there a way to get more information from Maven?

mvn.log.txt
