uimafit-maven-plugin chokes on some Java 8 constructions:

{noformat}
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.uima:uimafit-maven-plugin:2.1.0:enhance (default) on project
de.tudarmstadt.ukp.dkpro.core.mallet-asl: Execution default of goal
org.apache.uima:uimafit-maven-plugin:2.1.0:enhance failed:
java.io.IOException: invalid constant type: 18 at 291 -> [Help 1]
{noformat}

Upgrading to a new javassist version helps.

Workaround right now:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
  <artifactId>uimafit-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.0</version>
  <dependencies>

      <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
      <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
      <version>3.19.0-GA</version>
    </dependency>
