Hello Apache Maven community, In a Maven 3.3.3 and surefire 2.19 build I got this build failure on a CI server:

I'd like to understand what could be root cause of the issue and if it is likely to occur in future, and how to fix/prevent it. So, what could cause this issue? I checked local repo on agent that ran the failed build, at least now, surefire-booter-2.19 jar itself is not corrupt there. If I understood well https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/class-loading.html build execution specific surefire booter jar gets constructed - could it be that the generated jar was corrupt and if so what could be the cause? As immediate measure I will upgrade to latest Maven and Surefire version. Still, would like to understand the failure. Thanks for any help in advance! Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
