             Summary: Add modulepath support
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1262
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Scholte


With the Jigsaw project Java9 is extended with a modulepath. This means that surefire should be executed in a different way.
When working with a modulepath, the Classpath in the MANIFEST of the executable jar will be ignored, you need need to add everything on commandline. 
Just like javadoc, the java executable has an {{@<file>}} option, where you can add arguments per line. So this is the new preferred way to build the module-path.
IIUC for surefire it is important to add {{-Xpatch target/test-classes}} which makes it possible to use the same packages as target/classes.
