UnsupportedOperationException when compiling a Maven project in IntelliJ

Question

I have a Java library that I'm building with Maven and from the command line I can successfully run mvn test but when I try to build it or run the tests from IntelliJ, it fails with this error:

Information:java: An exception has occurred in the compiler (12.0.2). 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.

Any ideas what's going on?

I've tried refreshing IntelliJ from the Maven project (and it's configured to auto-import).

Both IntelliJ and the command line are using Oracle's JDK 12:

> java --version
java 12.0.2 2019-07-16
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 12.0.2+10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 12.0.2+10, mixed mode, sharing)

The successful command line run looks like this:

You are affected by JDK-8228646 and JDK-8223942 which are fixed in Java 13. I don't see it backported to Java 12 so I guess you should update to newer version.

The root cause is explained in the JDK-8223942 bug description:

In the module jdk.compiler the in class com.sun.tools.javac.api.ClientCodeWrapper the following calls are not forwarded and lead to calls to interface default which always throws UnsupportedOperationException

ClientCodeWrapper.WrappedJavaFileManager does not wrap method: default <S> ServiceLoader<S> getServiceLoader(Location location, Class<S> service) throws IOException

ClientCodeWrapper.WrappedStandardJavaFileManager does not wrap method: void setLocationForModule(Location location, String moduleName, Collection<? extends Path> paths) throws IOException

This is true for all versions of JDK, past and present.
