Surefire is not isolated from itself ------------------------------------ Key: SUREFIRE-700 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-700 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.7.2, 2.7.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4.3, 2.4.2, 2.4.1 Reporter: Kristian Rosenvold
The current classloader structure in surefire does not isolate surefire from changes to surefire in itself. This means an interface change in *most* private interfaces and classes can break the build of surefire itself. This is due to the classloader structure systemclassloader<-testclassloader<-providerclassloader, where a modified surefire immediately becomes effective by being loaded in testclassloader. This issue will be fixed by making the following structure: systemclassloader<-testframeworkclassloader<-testclassloader ^------surefireclassloader -- 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
