The chances are mostly of an incompatible maven-plugin version in your module. You could try to update the plugin configuration in the parent module to the following and test:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.7.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.9</source>
                <target>1.9</target>
                <jdkToolchain>
                    <version>9</version>
                </jdkToolchain>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.2</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

For the list of compatible versions of all the plugins, do refer to Maven#Java9+Jigsaw

I just upgraded my Java8 project with the brand new official release of Java9.

The project uses a Maven plugin, org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin version 2.6. When I run mvn clean install I now get the following exception:

ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.6:jar (default-jar) on project my-test-utils: Execution default-jar of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.6:jar failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.6:jar: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null

Any hint on how to solve this?

I'm using Maven 3.3.9. mvn -version outputs:

 Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T17:41:47+01:00)

The module that is failing is actually the first child module of the parent pom. It is surprisingly empty:

@nullpointer I have copy pasted the output for mvn -version. I will add the pom soon. Thanks

So, I upgraded all the plugins. I have another failure now (Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.20.1:test), so I consider this issue solved.

@JeanValjean Possibly a test issue this time.

I disabled the plugin for now. I'd like to see the app running. I have another issue related to a JOOQ plugin. I'll create another question. Thanks for the help

A similar error also happened to me when upgrading a project from JDK 11 to 13. Updating the maven-assembly-plugin to the latest version (from 2.6 to 3.2.0 in this case) fixed the issue as well.
