JMH uses an annotation processor to generate various META-INF resources, but as of the latest jdk9/dev this silently fails.

To reproduce:
mvn archetype:generate \
          -DinteractiveMode=false \
          -DarchetypeGroupId=org.openjdk.jmh \
          -DarchetypeArtifactId=jmh-java-benchmark-archetype \
          -DgroupId=org.sample \
          -DartifactId=test \
          -Dversion=1.0
cd test
mvn compile
ls target/classes

Should contain:
META-INF
org
perf

Actual:
org
perf

This works in 9+149 but not in 9+150, and bisecting over the langtools changes seems to implicate https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8133896 as the root cause.
