Stephane Nicoll reopened SUREFIRE-1198:
---------------------------------------

I can see that this issue got closed but I don't see a way to configure the jar 
file to use. 

In a Spring Boot project, we repackage the main jar with the fat jar and we 
rename the original jar. In 1.4, we've improved the jar layout and, long story 
short, failsafe doesn't work at all for us.

We have a couple of workaround but having the ability to configure the jar file 
of the project that is going to be used is fairly important for us. Users of 
the shade plugin should find this useful as well.

> Failsafe does not allow to use target/classes anymore

> It seems that SUREFIRE-855 does not allow {{target/classes}} to be used 
> anymore. Is there a reason why this behaviour was completely removed in 
> favour of only the jar file?
> It would be nice if we had an option to chose between the two (defaulting to 
> the jar)
