Adding a bootstrap classpath when testing with Maven

My library requires me to bootstrap the JVM in order to run it. In case you do not know, if you pass a jar to the JVM with the -bootstrap option, you can override (substitute) any Java library implementation like java.lang.String, etc.

So all I need to do is tell Maven that when it runs my tests it include the -bootclasspath option with my jar/classes.

Is that possible with Maven? Maybe maven will have to bootstrap itself, if the JVM is not able to add new bootstrap classes on-the-fly as it is able to add new classes/jar to the class开发者_JAVA百科path?

Have you tried the argLine and the forkMode parameters of the surefire plugin?
