     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1424?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tibor Digana closed SUREFIRE-1424.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

I added {{--add-modules java.se.ee}} to Version {{2.20.1}} because we wanted to fix such ClassLoader issues reported in Jira.
This is not a regression and not a bug in Surefire. This is actually problem with Oracle because broke backwards compatibility. Several years ago Oracle planned to design JDK in a way that JDK would be extensible. So if you imaging that you put {{javax}} extensions JAR {{javax.transctions.jar}} as a module, this could extend Java SE API with JTA from Java EE7.
Another issue is that Java API is not exposes however it is inside. This mechanism does not exist and the only thing is to apply {{--add-modules java.se.ee}} or any other module in {{.mvn/jvm.config}} or add {{javax:javaee-api:7.0}}.
Oracle says that {{javax.xml.bind}} and {{javax.activation}} is EE related. I disagree. This is also SE and people use it in console Swing applications. The plan is to delete several APIs.
