Surefire: How to specify jar class loading order?

[David Hoffer <dh...@gmail.com>]

I have found a case where mvn install & deploy work fine but site-deploy
does not.  The reason is that during site-deploy the surefire plugin is
building a class loading list in the surefirebooter jar's Manifest that is
different.

The reason this matters in my case is that I have some class overrides in
one of my child poms (multi-module project).  Its important that my child
artifact with the overrides gets added to the classpath first.  I don't know
what logic surefire uses to know what order to use but in the case of
site-deploy it is putting the original before my override.

I want to be able to specify the jar class loading order surefire uses (like
I could do in a war for instance at runtime).  How can I do this with
surefire?

Any thoughts on how I should resolve this?  Here are some options I thought
of.

1. Does the surefire plugin allow jar order to be specified via
configuration?

2. Put a copy of the overrides in each artifact under test so they always
endup in the classes folder.

3. Apply the overrides to the artifact being overridden.  I could create yet
another child module that patches the overridden artifact so I endup with a
patched version.  This might be the cleanest solution as it removes any
overrides from being in the runtime classpath, however I really don't need
this solution as in wars, etc I can control the ordering of the jar loading.

4. ??

OK, well there goes my "It's the maven versions that use hashmap and not
linkedhashmap" theory...

I am going to guess that you are using a version of maven < 2.0.9

if I am wrong, let us know
