japicmp: Missing javax/xml/bind/JAXBException when executing on JDK 9

Hello.

I’m in the process of moving my projects to Java 9. I’m seeing errors like the following when executing japicmp:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.siom79.japicmp:japicmp-maven-plugin:0.10.0:cmp (default) on project com.io7m.jnull.checkstyle: Execution default of goal com.github.siom79.japicmp:japicmp-maven-plugin:0.10.0:cmp failed: A required class was missing while executing com.github.siom79.japicmp:japicmp-maven-plugin:0.10.0:cmp: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

Actually, it seems this can be fixed without resorting to setting MAVEN_OPTS. The following worked ok for me:

          <plugin>              
            <groupId>com.github.siom79.japicmp</groupId>
