If your java is updated to (debian/ubuntu):
openjdk version "1.8.0_181"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-1ubuntu0.18.04.1-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
then the build in jena-base crashes surefire, leaving this error message
in jena-base/target/surefire-reports:
Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter
See: SUREFIRE-1588
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911925
The workaround is to add a <configuration> (this is fixed in the
unreleased Surefire 3.0.0-M1). The current latest release of surefire
does not include the fix.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<!--
Bug: SUREFIRE-1588
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911925
-->
<configuration>
<useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I'll do the fix and a few other plugin updates (surefire, compiler, shade)
