Is this a bug in clover-maven-plugin 4.3.0 ?

Hello, Atlassian Clover is now free of charge and open source. You can read more information about it here. Atlassian Clover never supported JDK 9 (latest release 4.1.2 was on 11 Oct 2016, whereby JDK 9 was in general availability since September 2017).

The tool you're using is one of the forks of Atlassian Clover. More information on project's site. Feel free to raise problems directly on OpenClover site. Or leverage the fact that's open source project and fix the problem by yourself.

Cheers,
