Java 9 compatibility

I have done some work to make jclouds compatible with Java 9:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-1101

It appears that jclouds 2.0.2 mostly works with Java 9 although users
must add --add-modules java.xml.bind to their java invocations.  Testing
jclouds itself with Java 9 requires jumping through additional hoops:

It would be nice to do more testing before 2.1.0 release.

Great job!

It would be interesting to configure some of our CI live tests with
Java 8/9 to catch runtime failures. The chef live test build is quite
fast, and the Packet one is very stable so they're good candidates to
be run with those versions of Java too.
