Description

I just ran a mvn site:site on the current Creadur RAT master branch with

{{$ m8 --version
Apache Maven 3.8.5 (3599d3414f046de2324203b78ddcf9b5e4388aa0)
Maven home: /home/me/software/maven
Java version: 1.8.0_192, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /home/me/jdk1.8.0_192/jre
Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-105-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
}}

and saw the following output in the log:

Not sure if this problem is related to RAT or Java8 thus following the advice and filing a bug.

Thanks for any feedback if anything else is needed.
