Github user afs commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/474 I'm trying to get a single build configuration for both java10 and java8. I can't get Jena to build with java8 if `<additionalOptions>-html5</additionalOptions>` is set. It is a problem in the full build because skipping javadoc isn't an option - the distributions include javadoc by dependency. With java 10.0.2 (Ubuntu latest with the placeholder java11 - still waiting for real java11): jena-elephas-common fails because: ``` [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jena-elephas-common: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.jena:jena-elephas-common:jar:3.10.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar:1.6 at specified path /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/../lib/tools.jar -> [Help 1] ``` (it also used MRUnit which is a retired project) A pure maven build will put the java11 runtime (no tools.jar) on the compile classpath. @lewismc - am I right in concluding it worked for you in the IDE because the java8 runtime was on the build path?
