Yes, the issue is that ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() is
returning null when using the Jigsaw EA with Maven.
AFAICT this is because it’s now using the service loader mechanism
which is influenced by the Thread’s context ClassLoader
That may be a bug as I wouldn't expect the ToolProvider.getSystemXXX
methods to locate the these tools via the TCCL.
I was talking with Jon about this. This is a bug in ToolProvider that
it should call
ServiceLoader.load(clazz, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
Looking at ToolProvider, the getSystemToolClassLoader method catches my
attention that I think we should consider deprecating it since this
assumes there is one class loader loading multiple tools.
