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

IIUC the Spring Boot jar is a jar-in-name-only: it doesn't follow the specifications of a jar, classes are not in the root but in a subdirectory. I assume you're using a custom classloader to execute this jar, which means that the maven-failsafe-plugin should do the same.

> It seems that SUREFIRE-855 does not allow {{target/classes}} to be used anymore. Is there a reason why this behaviour was completely removed in favour of only the jar file?
> It would be nice if we had an option to chose between the two (defaulting to the jar)
