Description

With Java 9 there is a new option being supported, namely release. This does not only set the source and target version but also sets a correct bootclasspath (to determine if the correct/available API is being used). For more details look at http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/247. This obsoletes the animal-sniffer-maven-plugin, as JDK9 ships with bootclasspaths for Java 6, 7 and 8.
