JavaxToolsCompiler

[Robert Scholte]

Hi,

On behalf of the Apache Maven team I'd like to ask for advice for changing  
the JavaxToolsCompiler[1]
This implementation is used when java code is being compiled with Maven  
*by default*, so right now when pointing JAVA_HOME to the latest JDK9  
version builds will fail.
There are other ways to compile, e.g. use the fork-parameter[2] or with  
toolchains[3], but what I'd like to know is whether it is still  
possible/valid to use javax.tools.JavaCompiler and is so: how should we  
rewrite this code?

regards,
Robert Scholte
