Description

Build fails with Java11 because exam 4.13-SNAPSHOT unavailable

I assume the build also fails with Java9+ because the profile switches the property from 4.12 to 4.13-SNAPSHOT for the exam version.

Please consider what to do in this case because requiring build dependencies which are not available is problematic. Also building pax-exam fails with Java11 because of various issues.

Is there a recommendation what to do? (e.g. report patches to the pax project or just wait?)
