java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/ietf/jgss/GSSException when running with java11

[holgerbrandl]

jcabi-aether is used to resolve dependencies in https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript.
However, currently it is not possible to use it with java11 (see kscripting/kscript#239), because when resolving dependencies the following exception is being thrown:

Is jcabi-aether compatible with java11? If not, is there any workaround to prevent this exception from happening?

It could well be that it is, but the issue is rather caused by the kotlin class-loader (which had some oddities in the past), but it would be nice to narrow the source of the problem.

@holgerbrandl I have no idea why this is happening? Do you have a hint or we need to investigate?

[holgerbrandl]

My only suspicion is the module system. It seems that to add the GSSException we may need something like --add-modules java.security.jgss. I'd also love to simply add it as an external jar, but could find any on maven-central or jcenter.
