FATAL ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid relative name: META-INF\services\javax.annotation.processing.Processor

[din-heg-sie]

I cloned https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-java.git to my windows 10 desktop.
When I do a mvn compile, I get this error message:

Which version of the client library are you using?
Google Ads API Client Library for Java - v9.0.0
(https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-java/releases/tag/9.0.0)

Which version of Java are you using?
JDK 1.8

Which operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
Windows 10

Actions taken

1. I went to the folder where the git was cloned to C:\Users\dhegde1\projects\google-ads-java
2. mvn clean compile

Expected result
Expect compilation to complete succesfully without errors

Actual result
