Failed to execute maven-plugin-plugin on Java 9

Question

I'm trying to migrate JavaLite projects to Java9, but getting this exception during a build.

The module that fails (so far) is: https://github.com/javalite/activejdbc/blob/master/activejdbc-instrumentation/pom.xml

My environment:

Ubuntu Linux:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

Java:

java -version
java version "9"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)

Maven:

Apache Maven 3.5.0 (ff8f5e7444045639af65f6095c62210b5713f426; 2017-04-03T14:39:06-05:00)
Maven home: /home/igor/programs/apache-maven-3.5.0

Java home: /home/igor/programs/jdk-9
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "4.4.0-89-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

Exception I get during the build:

Go to the most recent versions of plugins otherwise JDK 9 will not work...but there existing some issues at the moment: See here: https://s.apache.org/maven-j9 (Also wise to subscribe to dev list and ask)...If you find further issue please report on the dev list for this... — khmarbaise, Aug 10 '17 at 05:34

From this link, it appears that the minimum version for maven-plugin-plugin is v 3.5 re: Java 9. I am not a "Maven maven" but the log output implies v 3.2.

Generally, one will need to carefully check versions for many build tools and their plugins. Legacy versions for Maven, Gradle, and respective plugins might not "just work"; there has been effort by these teams to be ready for Java 9. i.e. updates

that makes sense. My poms do not even mention that plugin. I will look into it and report back. – ipolevoy Aug 10 '17 at 00:12
