Compiler execution fails using Java 10

[firefligher]

Hi,
unfortunately the latest compiler binary (jsonix-schema-compiler-full.jar, via NPM, version 3.0.0) does not run out of the box with Java 10 (at least at my setup) and fails with the following exception/stacktrace:

I guessed, that Oracle removed again some classes from the standard classpath. Thus, I tried to load the javax.activation-api binary (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.activation/javax.activation-api/1.2.0) manually into the classpath, which results in another couple of warnings:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.opt.Injector (file:/C:/Users/fir3/projects/Test/xml-test/node_modules/jsonix/lib/jsonix-schema-compiler-full.jar) to method java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.opt.Injector
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

(This is actually quiet funny because the maintainers of com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.opt.Injector is Oracle...)

I was able to hide those error messages using a property-flag. My final command line command looked like this:

java -Dcom.sun.xml.bind.v2.bytecode.ClassTailor.noOptimize -cp node_modules\jsonix\lib\jsonix-schema-compiler-full.jar;javax.activation-api-1.2.0.jar org.hisrc.jsonix.JsonixMain -d src\mappings -p PunnyCake my.xsd

EDIT: I'm using Java 10 and not Java 9.

After testing different openjdk versions, I can confirm the problem.
OpenJDK Java 8 => No Exception
OpenJDK Java 10/11/13 => Exception

how can i use it in java?

[kallmekunal]

I am still facing this issue in java11.
Any resolution suggested?

@kallmekunal you can install openjdk 8 and run this as a workaround
