>             Project: Juneau
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Code
>    Affects Versions: 8.1.3
>            Reporter: James Bognar
>            Priority: Major

> Current maven build fails if using anything other than Java 8 due to reliance on com.sun.* packages in our custom doclet tags in juneau-doc package.  
> Java 9 introduces new [jdk.javadoc.doclet.Taglet|[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/jdk/javadoc/doclet/Taglet.html]] API which is both nicer and also managed through Maven dependencies (unlike tools.jar which requires referencing the jar directly).  
>  
> Besides this change, there is no compelling reason to move to Java 9 yet.  So the build should still produce Java 8 compatible artifacts.
