Add support for specifying and configuring java instrumentation agents for
tests being launched in a new jvm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSUREFIRE-171
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-171
Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Walco van Loon
Attachments: javaagent-support.patch
JDK 1.5 added a new feature for instrumenting byte code in Java (See
java.lang.Instrument for more information). The attached patch adds support for
configuration of java agents and agent dependencies on the surefire command
line, when forking is enabled. The code used to configure the jvm argLine does
not use any JDK 1.5 features. Test cases are included.
The java.lang.Instrument approach has a few advantages:
1) no stale instrumented classes
2) no need for forked lifecycles and hacks to get the instrumented classes on
the classpath
3) any class that is loaded into the jvm can be instrumented
