Maven Surefire should set system property java.class.path or something like
surefire.java.class.path
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-435
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-435
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: classloading
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Martin Burger
In some of my test cases I fork another JVM instance that must have the same
classpath as the executed test. I use the system property java.class.path to
get the classpath.
In Eclipse it works as expected, the system property java.class.path holds all
the dependencies. But if I use Maven to run the tests, that system property
holds just
'/Users/mburger/bin/maven2/boot/classworlds-1.1.jar:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Classes/.compatibility/14compatibility.jar'.
AFAIK the system property java.class.path is read only, so Surefire cannot set
it. But it would be very nice to have some fall back like
surefire.java.class.path. In my test cases I could use that system property as
fall back when java.class.path does not contain the expected JAR files.
