Leiningen 2.8.1 on Java 10.0.1 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
Starting a new project for testing gorilla-repl:
$ lein new app gorilla-test
Added gorilla to project.clj:
:plugins [[lein-gorilla "0.4.0"]]
Get an exception when running:
$ lein gorilla
the exception:
clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter, compiling:(org/httpkit/server.clj:1:1) .....
.....

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter

There's a closed issue for http-kit on github here. It is suggested to add the following to the project.clj
:jvm-opts ["--add-modules" "java.xml.bind”]
or to add to java startup: --add-modules java.xml.bind
The lein option doesn't help and the java startup option i tried using export in the shell, but that rendered JVM fatal exception.
If there is another way to configure the JVM (which ofcourse there is) I don't know my way around... I found many references to the exception by searching, but none that assume no knowledge of the JVM mechanism...
EDIT (work-a-round):
Decided to rollback to JVM 8, Java 1.8.
I also found newer version of the gorilla repl in clojars.com. and went for this one
Works!
Perhaps it would have worked with the new Java runtime, but I decided to press all the buttons at once...
Another option is to add [javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api "2.3.0"] as a dependency.
However, similar to the :jvm-opts the dependencies don't apply to plugins (like lein-gorilla) since they are run separately.
You can either modify the original plugin and add jaxb-api to its dependencies (which I did in this PR: https://github.com/JonyEpsilon/lein-gorilla/pull/12) or you can "fake it" by adding jaxb-api to the :plugins vector in your project.clj:
:plugins [[javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api "2.3.0"]
[lein-gorilla "0.4.0"]])
