Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1262: ---------------------------------------- [~rfscholte] I am removing it from release Version {{2.19.2}} as there can be a nice bunch of questions around Java 9 compatibility. As for instance reworking CLI, executing in-plugin process, additional-classpath and modules inside, extracting additional JAR files and filtering tests only for appropriate java9 module, scanning module within {{target/test-classes}}, configuring selected modules via Mojo parameter, combining modules in {{-Dtest= patterns}}, Test List Processor planned in Version {{3.0}}. > Add modulepath support > ---------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1262 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Assignee: Tibor Digana > Fix For: Backlog > > > With the Jigsaw project Java9 is extended with a modulepath. This means that > surefire should be executed in a different way. > When working with a modulepath, the Classpath in the MANIFEST of the > executable jar will be ignored, you need need to add everything on > commandline. > Just like javadoc, the java executable has an {{@<file>}} option, where you > can add arguments per line. So this is the new preferred way to build the > module-path. > IIUC for surefire it is important to add {{-Xpatch target/test-classes}} > which makes it possible to use the same packages as target/classes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
