That can't be true because I used maven with java 9 in F26 from updates-testing
with absolutely no problems. And I have same problem with java 8 anyway.
After removing all versions of java and maven with dnf I tried to do a fresh
install and now even that fails:

/usr/bin/mvn: Failed to set JAVACMD
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
Something on my system seems to be off and I have no idea what.
2 things. First, you noticed that part of the message you got during the install
says....
The following packages have to be installed:
java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1:1.8.0.151-1.b12.fc27.x86_64 OpenJDK Development
Environment
Which is telling you that maven is depending on java-1.8.
Second, a question. When you ran the command did you have JAVA_HOME set? If you
did, how about trying it again without it being set?
