A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Observed this error while compiling one of my project using maven. An entire stack trace was of internal classes so I don't know how to reproduce. I had searched on google and this was already known issue but it was mentioned that this bug has been fixed in Java 11. Below is the StackTrace:

Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.CompilationFailureException: Compilation failure
An exception has occurred in the compiler (11.0.1). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
