ClosureScript Quick Start error on Windows

[Leroy Mason]

I'm working on Windows 10 according to the instructions on the ClojureScript Quick Start page https://clojurescript.org/guides/quick-start.

When I try to compile the hello world program using this command I get the error below.

Does anyone know how to resolve this on Windows?

compile command - java -cp "cljs.jar;src" clojure.main build.clj

error output -

C:\Users\leroy\OneDrive\Programming Languages\Clojure\hello-world>java -cp "cljs.jar;src" clojure.main build.clj

This is a Java9 error. It was fixed recently but has not been released yet.

You can either add "--add-modules java.xml.bind" to the java cmd arguments or downgrade to Java 8.
