Description

I'm trying execute JDK9 java code using the exec:exec goal. The executabe is the java executable from the JDK9 with Jigsaw. Maven itself runs with a JDK8 JVM.

Although I configured the JDK9 via jdk toolchain, exec-maven-plugin keeps using the jdk8-java-executable.

Within the very same pom.xml I am using the maven-compiler-plugin, which recognizes the toolchain and correctly uses the version 9 javacexecutable.

What am I doing wrong?

Research direction

Start with the POM configuration using exec:exec and the JDK toolchain, then compare it with the maven-compiler-plugin configuration that selects javac from JDK 9. Reproduce the build with Maven running on JDK 8 and verify that exec:exec selects the configured JDK 9 java executable; done means the plugin honors that toolchain.
