Description

Currently when deriving tests from RepositoryTestBase and running them with Java9 you see an error like

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: javax.jcr.RepositoryFactory is not an ImageIO SPI class
	at java.desktop/javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.checkClassAllowed(ServiceRegistry.java:745)
	at java.desktop/javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders(ServiceRegistry.java:230)
	at org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils.getRepository(JcrUtils.java:170)
	at org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils.getRepository(JcrUtils.java:244)
	at org.apache.sling.commons.testing.jcr.RepositoryUtil.startRepository(RepositoryUtil.java:107)
	at org.apache.sling.commons.testing.jcr.RepositoryProvider.getRepository(RepositoryProvider.java:68)
	at org.apache.sling.commons.testing.jcr.RepositoryTestBase.getRepository(RepositoryTestBase.java:67)
	at org.apache.sling.commons.testing.jcr.RepositoryTestBase.getSession(RepositoryTestBase.java:50)
...

This is due to the issue described in JCR-4179. Therefore the jackrabbit dependencies should be upgraded to at least 2.14.3.
