Description

Tasks needed to get JDK 9 builds going.

• several dependencies need to be updated such as Mockito and Jacoco.
• Fixes to tests that break as a result of Mockito update are needed.
• Many new warnings appear as a result of deprecated methods in use.
• The Scram-SHA SASL mechanism code needs to use the Base64 encoder / decoder instead of the EE DataTypeConverter that's in use now.
