Description

Steps to reproduce:

Use a docker image for maven:3.6 (docker run -it maven:3.6.0-jdk-8 bash)

Inside generate a new project:

mvn archetype:generate \
 -DinteractiveMode=false \
 -DarchetypeGroupId=com.sap.cloud.s4hana.archetypes \
 -DarchetypeArtifactId=scp-cf-tomee \
 -DarchetypeVersion=2.7.0 \
 -DgroupId=com.sap.cloud.sdk.tutorial \
 -DartifactId=testapp\
 -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
 -Dpackage=com.sap.cloud.s4hana.examples

In the folder testapp set surefire version to 3.0.0-M1 in unit-tests/pom.xml and integration-tests/pom.xml

Build the project

mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=maven_local_repo -Dmaven.test.skip clean install

Running the tests afterwards will fail

mvn test -Dmaven.repo.local=maven_local_repo --file ./integration-tests/pom.xml

The error message in the logs is:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter

However, it only fails when using ./ in the beginning of the file parameter in combination with having a local maven repo.
