Description

I'm trying to create a multi-release project, supporting java 1.8 and java 11.

My issue is I'm having a nightmare executing tests against both 1.8 and 11.

Could surefire have an option like compile to configure the jdkToolchain.

I understand that jvm is another config option, but that from what i'm reading requires the path to the java executable which isn't as helpful.

I would like to add something like this;

<configuration>
    <jdkToolchain>
        <version>11</version>
    </jdkToolchain>
</configuration>

or this;

<executions>
  <execution>
    <id>java11</id>
    <phase>test</phase>
    <goals>
      <goal>test</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
      <jdkToolchain>
        <version>11</version>
      </jdkToolchain>
    </configuration>
  </execution>
</executions>

 

 

Thinks might be planned, but at the moment I'm having a nightmare using toolchain executions but if i get surefire running with java 11 then following phases also use java 11 which means jar and javadoc fail in my current setup.
