Description

It would be good if our project can compile (and not just run) with Java 9. This might require updating/replacing some Maven plugins. I ran into an issue with maven-jaxb2-plugin when compiling taverna-language on JDK9.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin:0.13.3:generate (default) on project taverna-baclava-language: Execution default of goal org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin:0.13.3:generate failed: Prefix '' is already bound to '' -> [Help 1]

It seems maven-jaxb2-plugin is still working on Java 9 support, in particular an issue with setting package names, which probably would affect us.

This issue will investigate if there are workarounds for the current release of maven-jaxb2-plugin or if we should switch to alternatives like Apache cxf-xjc-plugin
