Removing jaxb2-maven-plugin and xmlbeans-maven-plugin from core/pom.xml and running with -Dmaven.test.skip=true the install goes fine.

@jbq ; going to wait a few months until adding java{X} support, to let all other components catch up. At that point, we'd probably go to the latest Java release, as they are doing shorter releases now, so Java10 will be out soon.

Code and components build. OSGi tests fail, but need to wait for a new release of pax to fix.

As core/components build, closing this ticket.
