Description

When testing the following code, I got a "URI is not hierarchical" error when calling url.toURI()

URL url = this.getClass().getResource( "/messages.properties" );
File file = new File( url.toURI() );

This only occurs with the failsafe maven plugin, not with surefire. This was working with version 2.18.1 (and before) but not anymore with version 2.19 (and superior).

I have attached the failsafe_getResource_uri_not_hierarchical.zip project that shows the issue (it tests both failsafe and surefire plugins).
The problem may be related to SUREFIRE-855 introduced in version 2.19
