Andriy Redko updated CXF-8074:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Ideally, the multi-release JARs have to be build with multiple JDKs, for 
example if JDK is the latest one, pre-JDK13 and JDK13.
 Or, alternatively, by latest JDK13 twice, once for {{src/main/java}} (using 
{{--release 8-}}) and once for {{src/main/java13}} (equivalent to {{-release 
13}}).

The issue is with {{tools.jar}}, which is not in scope of javac's 
{{--release-}} flag [1], it really needs to be built by JDK8. As the 
workaround, we could used {{-release 9}} to mitigate this issue (since 
{{tools.jar}} was merged into JDK9+) in a short term. The long term solution 
would be to use toolchain plugin.
