Hi Tibor.
I waited for a week in order to see other developers want to contribute
to the general discussion you asked to have before making any design
decisions the Surefire team might regret later. Did you get the input
your were looking for from somewhere off-list, or have you had enough
time
OK, so I didn't reach the end of my investigation. I did just look at the
Java specifications for the class file format [1]. They specify the
internal representation of packages always replace periods with forward
slashes (for historical reasons). So the binary class file generated by
the
I believe I've traced the problem to the binary inside the generated
package-info.class files. The path stored internally there uses the
backslash, while all other class files have forward slashes on Windows.
That appears to be written by the Classwriter (lines 1352-1358). Debug

I've confirmed this PR is the relevant problem as the symptoms can be
suppressed by using
mvn clean test "-Dmaven.compiler.createMissingPackageInfoClass=false"

Generating classes for package-info.java files, just to appease some issue
with the incremental compiler? That seems like it should have been filtered
in the compile plugin, not litter the build
I just bumped the maven-compiler-plugin version on my project from 3.9.0 to
3.10.0 and it caused Windows-based builds to fail maven-bnd-plugin tests
for package-info files in the "wrong" directory. The symptom looks to be
associated with the windows file separator.
Sample failure looks like:
