XWiki is meant to be built with Java 11 right now, so better use that (it’s possible some Maven plugins, here the Spoon plugin it seems, don’t work well in other version of Java).

Oops, I misread the documentation and considered it to be above or equal to java11.
That was an error on my part.
thank you @tmortagne @vmassol
