Description

I'm creating a Multi Release jar, containing base Java 1.8 and Java 11 classes. But am not able to successful test the Java 11 part.

In the following repo, I've got 3 tests.

• 1 test needs to be executed using Java 1.8 that are under src/test/java.
• 2 tests need to be executed using Java 11 that are under src/test/java11.

If the src/test/java tests are executed using Java 11 I expect it to fail which is expected, because it would be picking up the classes under target/classes/META-INF/versions/11/ and not the Java 1.8 version under target/classes/. Because the tests have been written to prove the correct source file is used for execution so the Java 1.8 BaseClass returns a different string to the Java 11 BaseClass.
