Surefire is not isolated from itself
------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-700
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-700
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.7.2, 2.7.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4.3, 2.4.2, 2.4.1
Reporter: Kristian Rosenvold
The current classloader structure in surefire does not isolate surefire from
changes to surefire in itself. This means an interface change in *most* private
interfaces and classes can break the build of surefire itself.
This is due to the classloader structure
systemclassloader<-testclassloader<-providerclassloader, where a modified
surefire immediately becomes effective by being loaded in testclassloader.
This issue will be fixed by making the following structure:
systemclassloader<-testframeworkclassloader<-testclassloader
^------surefireclassloader
