Kristian Rosenvold closed SUREFIRE-700. --------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: (was: 2.8.1) 2.8 I'm marking this issue as fixed for 2.8, since we can start using it immediately afterwards (on 2.8.1-SNAPSHOT). > Surefire is not isolated from itself > ------------------------------------ > > Key: SUREFIRE-700 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-700 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: classloading > Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.7.1, 2.7.2 > Reporter: Kristian Rosenvold > Assignee: Kristian Rosenvold > Fix For: 2.8 > > Attachments: stage2.patch > > > 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 > systemclassloader<-testframeworkclassloader<-surefireclassloader > Pardon the ascii graphics but it seems like jira does not allow me to draw > systemclassloader<-testframeworkclassloader as one common root ;) -- 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
