[CDK Pipelines]: cannot construct instance of ActionBindOptions (Java)

[victorlevasseur]

Hi,
The CDK is unable to synth when using the new CdkPipeline construct in Java 8 (@aws-cdk/core:newStyleStackSynthesis is correctly enabled).

Reproduction Steps

Simply create a CdkPipeline construct with a stage containing a stack:

Artifact sourceArtifact = new Artifact("source");
Artifact cloudAssemblyArtifact = new Artifact("cloudAssemblyArtifact");

PipelineProject buildProject = new PipelineProject(this, "synthProject", PipelineProjectProps.builder()
    .buildSpec(BuildSpec.fromSourceFilename("buildspec.yml"))
    .environment(BuildEnvironment.builder()
        .buildImage(LinuxBuildImage.STANDARD_4_0)
        .computeType(ComputeType.SMALL)
        .build())
    .build());

CdkPipeline cdkPipeline = new CdkPipeline(this, "pipeline", CdkPipelineProps.builder()
    .cloudAssemblyArtifact(cloudAssemblyArtifact)
    .sourceAction(new GitLab2S3SourceAction(this, "source", GitLab2S3SourceActionConfig.builder()
        .output(sourceArtifact)
        .actionName("Source")
        .branch("master")
        .gitLabProjectPath(config.getProjectName())
        .gitLabSourceBucket(config.getGitLabSourceBucket())
        .build())) 
//Note: GitLab2S3SourceAction is a custom class implementing IAction but the same bug happens with a classic S3SourceAction
    .synthAction(new CodeBuildAction(CodeBuildActionProps.builder()
        .project(buildProject)
        .actionName("Synth-CDK")
        .input(sourceArtifact)
        .outputs(Collections.singletonList(cloudAssemblyArtifact))
        .build()))
    .build());

// You may add some stages or not, the bug won't be affected.

It may be related directly to the IAction I was using as a source. You can close this issue as it's not a bug.

And thanks for the great work on the CDK pipelines by the way.
