Cservenak, Tamas commented on SUREFIRE-1588:
--------------------------------------------
A maven-surefire 2.22.1 patch that "works for me":
[https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/197]
But word of warnings: if you build the PR as-is, you a) will *make surefire
plugin java7* (is java6 currently), and b) will *replace official surefire
plugin 2.22.1 in your local repo* (something you really don't want unless you
know what are you doing)
> Surefire manifest jar classloading broken on latest Debian/Ubuntu Java8
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1588
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1588
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.22.1
> Reporter: Cservenak, Tamas
> Priority: Major
>
> See issue [1], but in short: latest Java8 on Ubuntu/Debian/Mint family of
> Linuxes (am on Mint, Ubuntu derivative) contains this patch [3], and eforces
> Manifest class path entries to be relative, as defined in [2].
> Hence, surefire booter and rest of Maven classpath, that uses absolute URLs
> are simply discarded.
> Example error:
> {noformat}
> # Created at 2018-10-30T21:34:43.339
> Error: Could not find or load main class
> org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter{noformat}
> using the new property
> {{-Djdk.net.URLClassPath.disableClassPathURLCheck=debug}} clearly shows that
> all the entries from the surefire JAR are simply ignored.
