      Create a default Drools kjar maven project.

      Description

      The Drools compiler class org.drools.compiler.rule.builder.dialect.java.JavaDialectConfiguration
      does not include Java 9 as a valid language level. Instead, when run using Java 9, the assumed java version is set to the default value of "1.7".

      As a consequence, when compiling a rules file requiring Java 8 specific language features, the compilation will fail. For example, if a rule RHS contains the statement:

      Arrays.asList("a","b","c").forEach(System.out::println);

      The rule compilation fails with the error:

      [ERROR] Unable to build KieBaseModel:default
      		 
      Rule Compilation error : [Rule name='test']
      		 
      	defaultpkg/Rule_test959974052.java (7:387) : Method references are allowed only at source level 1.8 or above

      The problem can be worked around by adding a configuration file META-INF/kie.properties.conf containing the line:

      drools.dialect.java.compiler.lnglevel = 1.8

      The Drools compiler code will use this value instead of the System "java.version" value, avoiding the problem.
