Description

SUREFIRE-1262 added the ability to run tests using the modulepath, which is great. However, as a library developer I cannot guarantee that the code will be run on the modulepath, it might well be run on the classpath.

As such, can I request a flag that turns the behaviour in SUREFIRE-1262 on and off? This would allow a single pom.xml to run surefire twice, once with the code on the modulepath and once with the code on the classpath, to ensure that the behaviour always works however the code is run. (Other solutions to achieve the same goal may be possible, but this seems the most obvious).
