Maven build throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException during tests performing [duplicate]

Question

I have spring-boot project with integration tests. I'm trying to move to JDK 9. After some changes in pom I'm able to build (with tests skipped) and run project on java 9. But when I try to perform integration tests, I get an exception:

mvn clean install:

[ERROR] Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date]-jvmRun[N].dump, [date].dumpstream and [date]-jvmRun[N].dumpstream.

Maven version: 3.5.2

All integration tests have the same configuration:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@TestPropertySource(locations="classpath:application.properties")
public class SomeTest {

Answer 1

The problem was in maven-surefire-plugin version 2.20.1. It is not working for me even on JDK 8. After decreasing version to 2.18.1, it started to work fine.
