Fails on Java 9?

[rnikander]

Is lein-cljsbuild supposed to work on Java 9? It works fine on Java 8, but if I use Java 9 I get the error below. (I'm on macOS.)

$ lein cljsbuild once
Compiling ClojureScript...
Compiling 17 source files to /Users/rob/.../target/default/classes

Hi @rnikander there are a few things you need to do to get ClojureScript projects working with Java 9, this isn't a cljsbuild bug. See https://www.deps.co/blog/how-to-upgrade-your-clojure-projects-to-use-java-9/ for more details.

Thank you for the info. Closing.
