I am using the maven-exec-plugin to run some automated java tests after a maven
build. It's working great. Now I would like to instrument the jarfiles I am
testing, and run my tests against those. I would need to prepend the classpath
in order to do this. But I don't see any way to do this with the
maven-exec-plugin.
My other option was to use -Djava.ext.dirs=/instfiles but when I use that it
will not load classes specified on the classpath. I think it is because they
are in application loader while I am trying to call it from the extension
loader. If I add all jars to the java.ext.dirs directory the tests run. Or if
I specify all jars ( including the instrumented jars ) on the classpath it
works, but not when I have mixed classpath and -Djava.ext.dirs.
Is there anyway for me to prepend the classpath generated by the
maven-exec-plugin?
Thanks, Patrick
