{{-Xpatch target/test-classes}} would be for the forked VM. What to change in IsolatedCL in case the tests run in Maven process?

> 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.
