----------------------------------------

[~rfscholte]
I have finished refactoring [1] and the IT test {{ModulePathIT}} passed successfully.
Let's wait for Jenkins build and then I can patch master with this change from the branch.

> 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 {{--patch-module target/test-classes}} (was: -Xpatch) which makes it possible to use the same packages as target/classes.
