Avoid producing a trailing colon in java.class.path. by cpovirk · Pull Request #3365 · apache/maven-surefire (original) (raw)

This is more consistent with how java -cp ... operates:

If I run...

java -cp somejar:

...then Java sees a trailing empty path, i.e., "the current directory."

But Surefire includes a trailing colon in all cases --
even when the current directory is not on the class path.

This behavior contributed to google/guava#8295
