Surefire forkMode failure when using jdk-9

[Michael Musgrove <mm...@redhat.com>]

When I run any surefire test (with reuseForks=false) that uses java.sql
classes on jdk-9 it fails with, for example:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test (default-test)
on project maven-surefire-plugin-example: Execution default-test of goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test failed:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/sql/SQLException:
java.sql.SQLException -> [Help 1]

If I run it with reuseForks=true it works fine.

The problem was introduced when the openjdk team "Deprivileged the java.sql
and java.sql.rowset modules" in jdk build 9-ea+122 (
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+122.html).

A trivial reproducer is attached.
