I try to run kotlinc-js under Java 9 and get: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter. I know this is because the module java.xml.bind is not included by default in Java 9. How can I resolve this?

[konsoletyper]

Wait until we fix this issue. Or switch back to Java 8

Thanks! Is there a way to pass JVM args to the compiler?

[alexander.egger]

--add-modules java.xml.bind could be a temporary workaround

[konsoletyper]

I don't know

[konsoletyper]

It depends on a particular build system. For example, Gradle runs compiler via daemon, and there's no simple ways to pass args there

[konsoletyper]

I think you can always define your own _JAVA_OPTIONS, this used to work for Oracle JVM

[alexander.egger]

Thanks for the hint. I will try some things.

I managed to work around my issue using _JAVA_OPTIONS, but encountered another one when running the compiler. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-20653
in case you are interested.
