Description

I have a test case where I want to load a bunch of jars in a custom classloader, and check that they are isolated from the classes in the classloader within which the test is running. This is for BC testing elsewhere in my code.

 

See

https://github.com/ivankelly/bookkeeper/blob/faa9f6db6f6861b9579be441227621bb06f0fac8/tests/integration-tests-utils/pom.xml

 

Run test in that module to see it work correctly. Change the surefire plugin to a newer version to see it fail. The problem seems to be that all dependencies are being added to the classpath of the forked processes, so no matter what happens, they are in the system class loader.
