I'm trying to build 2.13.1 from sources using either JDK 8 or 9 on Mac OS but it keeps failing with:
<klund@Kirks-MacBook-Pro-2>/Users/klund/dev/logging-log4j2 [518]$ mvn install ...

I'm trying to build with either JDK 8 or 9 (using jenv). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what I should change to get the build past this error? Thanks in advance! <klund@Kirks-MacBook-Pro-2>/Users/klund/dev/logging-log4j2 [517]$ java -version java version "1.8.0_202" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode) I used 1.8 in this latest build but I've also tried 9. I also created sym links in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ to match the definitions in the toolchains-sample-mac.xml file (not sure if this is correct or not): <klund@Kirks-MacBook-Pro-2>/Users/klund/dev/logging-log4j2 [515]$ ll /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 544 Mar 12 14:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 160 Jan 3 2019 ../ drwxr-xr-x@ 3 klund staff 96 Nov 27 2018 adoptopenjdk-10.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 96 Oct 7 2018 adoptopenjdk-9.jdk/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 Mar 6 11:50 java7@ -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 50 Mar 6 11:52 java8@ -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 47 Mar 6 13:19 java9@ -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.4.jdk drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Sep 13 2018 jdk-10.0.2.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Mar 6 13:14 jdk-9.0.4.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Aug 18 2016 jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Jun 25 2018 jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Sep 13 2018 jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Mar 25 2019 jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Mar 25 2019 jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Feb 12 2016 jdk1.8.0_66.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 96 Jan 18 2019 openjdk-11.0.2.jdk/ drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 96 Dec 11 2019 openjdk-13.0.2.jdk/
