Description

It'd be nice to be able to use the ServiceLoader mechanism in maven plugins when using JDK9:

 

import org.apache.maven.plugin.AbstractMojo;

public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {

    public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException {

        // this is empty

        Iterator<Tool> iterator = ServiceLoader.load(javax.tools.Tool.class).iterator();
    }
}

 

Work around is to use a different classloader.
