Widgetset can't be compiled for com.vaadin:grid-renderers-collection-addon:2.7.0 and Vaadin 8.10.1

Question

In our Vaadin 8.10.1 project we need to set up CheckboxRenderer in grid, that's why we have added:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
        <artifactId>grid-renderers-collection-addon</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.0</version>
    </dependency>

because it is compatible with Vaadin 8.10.1 according to the compatibility matrix: https://vaadin.com/directory/component/grid-renderers-collection-for-vaadin7

For the grid I coded:

Setter<Payment, Boolean> setter = new Setter<Payment, Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public void accept(Payment s, Boolean aBoolean) {

    }
};
CheckboxRenderer renderer = new CheckboxRenderer(setter);
paymentGrid.addColumn(Payment::getSelectedToMultiAction).setRenderer(renderer).setCaption("");

renderer.addClickListener(event -> {
    Payment toBeAdded = (Payment) event.getItem();
    if (toBeAdded.getSelectedToMultiAction()) {
        selectedPayments.add(toBeAdded);
    } else {
        selectedPayments.remove(toBeAdded);
    }
});

There was no way for the version 2.7.0 to initialize the CheckboxRenderer rather than passing a Setter object for it (I'm not sure that I'm initializing it correctly, as I haven't fount any example on using the Setter)

Widgetset set up is:

@SpringUI
@Theme("valo-ps")
@Widgetset("com.vaadin.v7.Vaadin7WidgetSet")
@StyleSheet({"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto"})

and gwt-dev is 2.8.2

When I compile my code with

--- vaadin-maven-plugin:8.10.1:compile (default)

i see the output about several widgetsets:

[INFO] Widgetsets found from classpath:
[INFO]  org.vaadin.teemu.ratingstars.gwt.RatingStarsWidgetset in jar:file:D:/m2repository/org/vaadin/addons/ratingstars/2.1/ratingstars-2.1.jar!/

and finally it fails with

So, what could be the root cause of the problem and what could be the workaround?

PS> sometime with no explicit change in any configuratio, Im getting another error:

Answer 1

There was ecj dependency, that came here with the jasperreports dependency like that:

so had to find what exactly was adding it and exclude from that dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.openpayment</groupId>
            <artifactId>payment-impl</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
<!--                <exclusion>-->
<!--                        <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler</groupId>-->
<!--                        <artifactId>ecj</artifactId>-->
<!--                </exclusion>-->
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt</groupId>
                    <artifactId>ecj</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>              
        </dependency>
