Maven fails on java 10

Question

I am using the following versions to compile my sources to java 10:

maven (3.5.4)
maven-compiler-plugin 3.7.0
Java 10 (subversion 2)

with the recommended changes in pom.xml

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.7.0</version>
<configuration>
    <source>10</source>                                                
    <target>10</target>                                                
    <release>10</release>                                              
    <executable>javac10</executable>                                   
    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
<dependencies>                                                         
    <dependency>                                                       
        <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>                                 
        <artifactId>asm</artifactId>                                   
        <version>6.1.1</version> <!-- Use newer version of ASM -->     
    </dependency>                                                      
</dependencies>

I still geht a strange error after mvn install:

I really have no clue what that error means - even when I run maven with more verbose output. It seams to be a tricky problem. Is there any idea what I could do to get more information? Maybe someone already knows this error?

Thanks very much in advance.

what's your java version configured for maven? what does `mvn -version` read and what command are you using? — Naman, Jul 29 '18 at 14:37
The output is: Apache Maven 3.5.4 (1edded0938998edf8bf061f1ceb3cfdeccf443fe; 2018-06-17T20:33:14+02:00) Maven home: C:\Softdev\maven\apache-maven-3.5.4\bin\.. Java version: 10, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10 Default locale: de_AT, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows" — Shannon, Jul 29 '18 at 14:42
The configuration shared by you works for me with a similar version of maven and java on MacOS. Can you share the complete configuration and the command executed by you, to be able to reproduce the same? — Naman, Jul 29 '18 at 14:55
First can you give the url of the project? Furthermore if you wait a few days a new version of maven-compiler-plugin will be released which should solve the issue ... — khmarbaise, Jul 29 '18 at 15:59
Give [ASM 6.2](http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.ow2.asm%7Casm%7C6.2%7Cjar) a try. — Nicolai Parlog, Jul 29 '18 at 16:21
@Nicolai not required for java10 at least. (good to have 6.2 but not a must) — Naman, Jul 29 '18 at 16:37
@khmarbaise a little off-topic, was there a conclusion over 3.7.1 versus 3.8.0 release of the compiler plugin, any tentative dates/mail thread you can share? — Naman, Jul 29 '18 at 16:38
You can read about the currently running VOTE https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/msg117301.html furthermore Apart from that If everything goes well the new version should be available from Central tomorrow. The conclusion about 3.7.1 vs. 3.8.0 was simply this change https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-335 (which requires a minor change)..apart from that dev mailing lists are open you can subscribe and read or use the archives see https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html. There is nothing closed....feel free to join the list... — khmarbaise, Jul 29 '18 at 17:10
So far the VOTE was successful. Waiting for synchronisation to central.... — khmarbaise, Jul 29 '18 at 18:35
@khmarbaise Ya thanks for the information. Could see the vote results on the mailing list. :) — Naman, Jul 29 '18 at 18:52
See the official announcement: https://blogs.apache.org/maven/entry/apache-maven-compiler-plugin-version or here: https://www.mail-archive.com/announce@maven.apache.org/msg00866.html — khmarbaise, Jul 29 '18 at 20:57
i now updated to maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.0 but the error still continued. I thought that maybe it has something to do with modules and it will be necessary to add the recommended compilerArgs inside the pom.xml ` --add-modules java.xml.bind ` — Shannon, Aug 02 '18 at 16:27
It is very important to use `maven install -proc:none` to get the "covered" compiler errors as methioned in the referenced Topic, where this approach is explained. Thanks alot! — Shannon, Aug 03 '18 at 16:33
I had the same error log - environment is `Apache Maven 3.5.4`, `Java version: 10.0.2`, `maven-compiler-plugin: 3.7.0`. Removing the `--add-modules` from the configuration resolved that for me. — vdimitrov, Aug 13 '18 at 02:20
