JDK-13 Unsupported class file major version for surefire plugin

Kirill :

I'm trying to create Java module project with Java-13 and Maven. My pom.xml is:

It's working fine if I skip test phase with mvn clean package -DskipTests:

BUILD SUCCESS

But when I'm trying to test the project with mvn clean test, I'm getting error (full log with -e is here: https://gist.github.com/g4s8/a08e88143b7b5ceec0e534a34b7ab734):

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M3:test (default-test) on project oot: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M3:test failed: Unsupported class file major version 57 -> [Help 1]

It seems surefire plugin can't work with 13 JDK, but plugin docs says "Requirements: Maven 3.x and JDK 1.7 or higher" (JDK 13 is higher than JDK 1.7).

So did I configure something wrong in my pom.xml or surefire plugin is not working with 13 JDK?

Currently the issue in Maven Surefire plugin is that it's using an older version of org.ow2.asm:asm which causes the issue. I've created an issue on maven-surefire-plugin. The issue can be temporarily circumvented by simply adding a new version of org.ow2.asm:asm to the maven-surefire-plugin:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
        <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
        <version>7.2</version>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </plugin>
</plugins>
