[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-14290) Fix NPE in SolrTestCaseJ4 breaking external usage for master/9.x

["Jan Høydahl (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14290?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17503037#comment-17503037 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14290:
------------------------------------

Heads up: If this ends up being the last blocker left before RC1, I intend to demote it and commit a note to major-changes that users relying on test-framework in their app should wait for a later release.

> A fix for this was provided on branch_8x in SOLR-14283 but that same fix won't work in java 11 due to reflection restrictions that make it impossible (AFAIK) to un-final a final variable. We will likely need to employ powermock or our own java agent based solution, or redesign the way ExternalPaths.determinSourceHome and ExternalPaths.SOURCE_HOME work. 
> 8.5 is coming up soon and we can't release with this broken in 8.5 so I'm separating the more complicated 9x fix into this ticket.
