module jdk.compiler does not "opens com.sun.tools.javac.processing" to unnamed module @4bae33a6

I cloned this Project from Github

https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Java-Machine-Learning-for-Computer-Vision.git

I am going to use the FaceRecognizition from this project. But as soon as I try to run this in IntelliJ I get this error

java: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError Unable to make field private com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$DiscoveredProcessors com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.discoveredProcs accessible: module jdk.compiler does not "opens com.sun.tools.javac.processing" to unnamed module @4bae33a6

What can I do?

I had same issue first check what Java version is used by maven by using

mvn -v

if it is set to Jdk 16 then you will have to update file below

/usr/local/Cellar/maven/{version}/bin/mvn

and set

JAVA_HOME:-$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

then you can confirm by running mvn -v again

Above steps have resolved the issue for me
