API tests failing on running ./mvnw verify

[muskaan2199]

I am trying to build and test on ppc64le(ubi). However the API tests fail on running the ./mvnw verify command. I've installed jdk 8, 9 and 11 and added it to toolchains.cml file.

@muskaan2199,

Is this reproducible? Which JRE is running the tests?

The output of java -version

openjdk version "9"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)

@muskaan2199,

Our release-2.x build is meant to be run using JDK 8 (we should add an enforcer rule for that). Set JAVA_HOME to the path of your JDK 8 installation.

On Java 9 the ServiceLoaderUtilTest fails in a non-essential way (one of the "broken" service entries is ignored by JDK 9, while we expect to ignore them ourselves; the result is the same). You can try #1263 for an improved version of the test, that should also work on JDK 9+.
