Description

Something odd is going on with JDK 23. If I run my tests under JDK 21 or JDK 22 they run under the module-path. If I change "maven.compiler.release" to 23, then all of a sudden Surefire is running the tests on the classpath. It's odd. I'm not changing anything else about my code. If I run:
 
LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass()).info("class: {}, module: {}", getClass(),
getClass().getModule().toString());
 
under JDK 21, I get a module name. Under JDK 23, I get "unnamed module" and module-specific functionality breaks (e.g. Module.getDescriptor() returns null).
 
Have you tried running any of the integration tests under JDK 23? I'm hoping you can reproduce the problem on your end...
