Thorsten Glaser commented on SUREFIRE-1588:
-------------------------------------------
Erm, can’t you please release a 2.x with the fix, as this is really important
{color:#FF0000}RIGHT NOW{color}?
We can upgrade to an incompatible 3.x later, but we’ll not use a -Mxxx
milestone snapshot in production, and who knows what other incompatibilities
3.x will have.
(As for making it Java 7+ that’s no problem, we got even the slowest and most
conservative of customers to upgrade to Java 7 years ago, and almost all to
Java 8 even, years ago even.)
> 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.
