[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Maven and url stream handlers

Related to this thread http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4130111#... If you checkout the latest MC project and try to run the classloader-vfs tests it tells you can't create VFS files. This is because it doesn't recognise the vfsfile: protocol (even though it has been added to the system properties). This issue is specific to Maven, the tests work fine in the Eclipse. I tried to debug this before, but I couldn't work out the cause, because if I added a modified version of the URL class (with extra debugging) to the bootstrap classpath I couldn't reproduce the problem. The class from Sun's src.jar doesn't match what's in the JDK. ;-( I ended up hacking the test using reflection and setAccesible(true) to set the vfs url handler manually on the URL object. But I don't want to do that here, the construction of the VFS files are not in a test in this case, they are in real code. I'm guessing this has something to do with the way Maven is playing with the classloaders? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4130113#...
