Description
While using junit in fork mode with tests which need Xerces 2.7.1 (Xinclude), the tests fails.
The cause of the failures is the presence of xerces-2.4.jar in classpath (which is a dependency of maven-test-plugin).
I attach a small patch with a new property "maven.junit.forkWithoutXerces" initialized to false (so the comportement of the plugin is the same). And when this property is set to yes xml-apis and xerces are not added to classpath even when fork is true.
applied, thanks!
I also added documentation, and renamed the property to maven.test.excludeXmlApis.
Another solution that you might like to try and replace this with would be to check for the existence of xerces/xml-apis in the dependency list and only add them if they were not there.
