Lotus notes domino with java jdk 11

Question

I need to send/extract emails from Lotus notes using JAVA API. I am using JDK 11 (no other choice is possible)

But there is a problem when I try to create the session:

import lotus.domino.*;

public class TestDomino  {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Session s = NotesFactory.createSession();
        } catch (NotesException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

I have the following error:

Required type:
    Throwable
Provided:
    NotesException 

Error:(9, 9) java: cannot access org.omg.CORBA.UserException
  class file for org.omg.CORBA.UserException not found

Is Lotus notes incompatible with JDK 11?

What is the fast way to make it work properly?

The same issue hit me in the morning.

First of all you have to be sure that you are using an 32-Bit JDK. The guys at AdoptOpenJDK provide some over here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html

To fix the issue with the missing COBRA classes just add this dependency to your pom.xml:

 <dependency>
   <groupId>org.glassfish.corba</groupId>
   <artifactId>glassfish-corba-omgapi</artifactId>
   <version>4.2.1</version>
 </dependency>
