JHipster v5 with Java 10

jhipster-java10.md

Thanks to Josh Long's Java 10 blog post for instructions!

1. Download and install Java 10. Make sure it's the version used when you run java -version.

2. Clone the JHipster project's master branch:

   git clone https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster.git
   

3. In the cloned directory, run npm link.

4. Create a new directory and project in it by running jhipster. Choose Maven as your build tool.

5. Modify pom.xml:

   1. Change java.version to be "10".

   2. Confirm you have a dependency on JAXB.

      <dependency>
          <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
          <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
      </dependency>

   3. Change the maven-enforcer-plugin to remove the <requireJavaVersion> block:

      <requireJavaVersion>
          <message>You are running an incompatible version of Java. JHipster requires JDK ${java.version}</message>
          <version>[1.8,1.9)</version>
      </requireJavaVersion>

6. Download and install IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.

7. Open the project in IntelliJ, add Java 10 as an SDK, and run the Application.java class.

8. Enjoy the sweet smell of success! 🤓

For anyone struggling with Maven - I was only able to get it compile after I added the javax.xml dependencies as annotationProcessorPaths for the compiler plugin

         <plugin>

I used the method shown above that is Java 10 and clonnage of the repo git. But when I create my micro service the package util in rest does not generate. The class pagination and header are not generated.
