Yep, that's exactly what we would expect. When you run maven.bat/sh it
launches a JVM with a specific classpath, as you've got it above.

The problem here is that you're after "the classpath" as if you mean
the environment variable, $CLASSPATH or %CLASSPATH%. The batch
file/shell script that launches maven creates it's own classpath. If
you need the variable as it exists BEFORE maven runs, you'll need to
get it some other way.
Mostly tests don't navigate through the class path. What is it that
you need from it?
