-------------------------------------------

Hi [~rfscholte], would be really great to have this merged upstream.

We're having a lot of projects now using the forked plugin version that David had to create to include this patch; e.g. see https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/1508 but beyond Quarkus this affects most JBoss projects too.

The good news is that since all these projects have been using it for months, it has been well tested! 

I see the conversation here was that you were quite positive about including this; then to be fair I don't understand your last question. We for sure need to be able to build projects for JDK8 still as well.

> At present it is very difficult to include additional class path items during compilation that are not dependencies.  But this is a very useful capability, especially when doing partial builds, MR JARs, JDK API stubbing, including dependency items that cannot be included in any other build phase or execution, etc.
> This enhancement and pull request are to request the addition of a {{additionalCompilePathItems}} property in CompilerMojo or AbstractCompilerMojo which includes additional filesystem paths in the compilation class path.
