Description

The attached project results in different (and wrong!) error messages when compiled without or with toolchains support.

If compiled without toolchains support (mvn clean compile) the error message is:

   [ERROR] .../src/main/java/ch/pecunifex/x/Cls1.java:[12,5] cannot access ch.pecunifex.x.Cls2
     bad source file: .../src/main/java/ch/pecunifex/x/Cls2.java
       file does not contain class ch.pecunifex.x.Cls2
       Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the sourcepath.

wĥich is correct.

If compiled with toolchains support (mvn -Ptoolchains clean compile) the error is:

  [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.1:compile (default-compile) on project p1: Compilation failure
  [ERROR] .../src/main/java/ch/pecunifex/x/Cls1.java:[3,15] FontDesignMetrics is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release

which is (at least) misleading. The true error is not visible anymore.

(( The attached zip file has a toolchains.xml file that needs to be adapted to your setup (jdk location) and either must be put in ~/.m2 or its location specified on the command line. ))
