[Mac] Error when launching with Java 9 or 10

[tofi86]

Java 9-ea seems to have problems with JNI methods:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

Tested with new universalJavaApplicationStub with Java 9 support (tofi86/universalJavaApplicationStub#43).

However, com/apple/eawt/QuitHandler class is part of the EPUB-Checker-JAR...

(refs liamsharp/universalJavaApplicationStubDemo#2)

The apple specific event handlers do not work with Java 9 anymore because Java 9 deprecated/removed the classes from package com.apple.eawt.*. See the following links for details:

• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/toc.htm#JSMIG-GUID-97C1D0BB-D5D3-4CAD-B17D-03A87A0AAF3B

People came up with workarounds, like Reflection:

The Mac launcher script can work with Java 9, the Windows launcher not yet. However:

Launch4j 3.12 was released with support for Java 9 and 10: http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/changelog.html

Waiting for an update of the maven launch4j plugin orphan-oss/launch4j-maven-plugin#75 and then we can try again.

Windows launcher supports Java 9 and 10 now, works as expected.
