A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
FOR JSR269 I changed the JAVA method, and print it on the terminal
It`s OK for the grammar
If I change a new operation system(centos) and recompile it, it`s OK.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
command: mvn clean package
for each maven project

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compile SUCCESS
ACTUAL -

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use another operation system
