Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1262:
----------------------------------------
[~novanic]
It would be an overhead to do the release and a messy in Maven Central what
features are discontinued and again continued.
> Add modulepath support
> ----------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1262
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1262
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Fix For: 2.21.0.Jigsaw
>
>
> With the Jigsaw project Java9 is extended with a modulepath. This means that
> surefire should be executed in a different way.
> When working with a modulepath, the Classpath in the MANIFEST of the
> executable jar will be ignored, you need need to add everything on
> commandline.
> Just like javadoc, the java executable has an {{@<file>}} option, where you
> can add arguments per line. So this is the new preferred way to build the
> module-path.
> IIUC for surefire it is important to add {{--patch-module
> target/test-classes}} (was: -Xpatch) which makes it possible to use the same
> packages as target/classes.
