I think it was my first day using Apache Maven.

As new as  one could be.



I noticed I was getting reflection warnings when running Java Code.

After some experimenting I was able to identify that it was happening with
Java  11

and not Java 8.



Although I was new to the Apache Maven and most people would not take

me seriously  if they knew asked is this your first day using Maven product.



Nonetheless I logged on their user mailing list.



Apache Maven unlike Apache HTTPD had exact same directory structure.

At the end it came to light that

Debian had included the incorrect  libraries in their build of  Apache Maven,

hence the warnings.



The in house expert on Maven also told me that the reason the warnings were
not showing

up with Java 8 is because Java 8 knows nothing of those "noop" libraries.



So if I do not want to see these warnings, change from using sudo apt  install
maven

which is downloading from the debian  repository,

do a direct download from Apache website.

https://maven.apache.org/.

The Debian and Apache version was the same.

I did do a direct download, set the $PATH and the warnings did not show up
with Java 11.



1\. The moral of the story is, it doesn't matter how I long I have been using
the software

I play by a set of rules.



2\. Beware  there are Debian builds and Apache builds.

yes

The source distribution is our primary mission. Some people consume  
it directly, some through other projects/vendors like enterprise  
linux.
