when maven is embedded in another application, the System classloader can contain also other stuff from the embedding application. > Remove use of parent classloader in surefirebooter but keep TestNG support > working > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-54 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-54 > Project: surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: fabrizio giustina > Priority: Critical > > The removal of the parent system classloader while running tests in surefire > booter totally broke testNG support. > I am going to revert the commit: > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/surefire/trunk/surefire-booter/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/surefire/booter/SurefireBooter.java?r1=427040&r2=438999&diff_format=h > ... in order to keep testng working for now, but we should find a way to > solve both problems soon. > The removal of the parent classloader is needed, according to Kenney for the > following reason: > If this is not done, the System classloader is added, in this case an > AppClassloader containing everything in the root classpath. For instance, in > maven, everything in core/ is available.This can cause clashes with the > plexus-utils used in maven itself. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
