James Wen commented on MCOMPILER-274:
-------------------------------------
It might be worth noting that for our situation, this build process was working
when we were on openjdk-7-jdk `7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.2`. When
openjdk-7-jdk `7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.3` was [released on August
11th](http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openjdk-7/openjdk-7_7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.3/changelog),
our build process automatically starting using this (because we use apt-get
install) and the build started failing.
> "Compilation failure" message should say what actually went wrong

> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.1, 3.5.1
> Reporter: Trejkaz

> I tried to build jruby 9.0.5.0, which uses Maven to run the build. It fails
> to compile, but gives me a useless error message:
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile)
> on project jruby-core: Compilation failure -> [Help 1]
> When compilation fails, Maven should tell me what actually went wrong, so
> that I can fix it.
