Description

It looks like the problem is https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030046. It looks like:

[ERROR] Caused by: org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called?
[ERROR] Command was /bin/sh -c cd /root/orc/java/shims && /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -Xmx2048m -jar /root/orc/java/shims/target/surefire/surefirebooter4015168140687556977.jar /root/orc/java/shims/target/surefire 2018-11-02T12-32-24_319-jvmRun1 surefire8218006047690391850tmp surefire_04160000529152079754tmp

The surefire-reports/*.dumpstream looks like:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter

and we can work around the problem by changing the surefire configuration:

+          <useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
