Cannot compile on a Mac with java 12

[rjlouro]

Trying to compile MTS on a macbook pro and run into 2 problems:

Package javax.cml.bind does not exist:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project mts: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

Solved by adding it to pom.xml. Tried version 2.3.0 and it worked.

Hello, thanks for the feedback, we'll address that as soon as possible.

The current reference Java version is (still) 8.

It would be nice to use the maven toolchains plugin (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-toolchains-plugin/).
