I got same ERROR since 2018/10/26 00:52:00 UTC. pom setting is > ``` > org.apache.maven.plugins > maven-surefire-plugin > > > ${surefireArgLine} -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m > true > > 2.20.1 > > ``` using > Apache Maven 3.5.4 (1edded0938998edf8bf061f1ceb3cfdeccf443fe; 2018-06-17T18:33:14Z) > Maven home: /opt/apache-maven > Java version: 1.8.0\_181, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre > Default locale: en, platform encoding: UTF-8 > OS name: “linux”, version: “4.4.0-137-generic”, arch: “amd64”, family: “unix” i think it may related OpenJDK updated version. But i have not got any clue. Does anyone resolved it? ---

@Svyatoslav Below configuration worked for me. **Reason :** Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter **Solution :** Set `useSystemClassLoader` to `false` ``` org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin ${surefireArgLine} -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m true false 2.20.1 ``` ---

Same problem here. The solution works, but I want to know why this happens. What changed? ---

I also experienced this error. It would be really nice to know what the root cause of this is. Thanks for the solution though 🙂 ---

Yup same here, all builds all the sudden are broken, obviously CircleCI changed something but I’m not even sure what would cause this to, all-the-sudden, break - CirclCI folks, any ideas? ---

I believe what changed was the circleci docker images tagged as `circleci/openjdk:8-*` upgrade from Java 8u171 to 8u181. I found this report that sheds a little light on it: [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911925](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911925) ---

I rolled back to 8u171 and got my builds work again. `- image: circleci/openjdk:8u171-jdk` ---

> [@postalservice14](#): > > from Java 8u171 to 8u181 That is incorrect. Java remained at 8u181. The change is the build number from 1 to 2: Old: ```auto build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-1~deb9u1-b13 ``` New: ```auto build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-2~deb9u1-b13 ``` ---

I’m also having the issue, which openjdk tag should I use? I’m not able to see the tag `8u171` in [https://hub.docker.com/r/circleci/openjdk/tags/](https://hub.docker.com/r/circleci/openjdk/tags/). Can I still use it? Thanks ---

Hey guys, I hit the same problem by using `circleci/openjdk:8-jdk` image to build in circleci. Which image for alternative for solving this? @um-zagaa Can you point me what this piece actually doing? `false` ---

Hi @eegiimgl `userSystemClassLoader=true` is using manifest-only JAR, `userSystemClassLoader=false` is using basic plain old Java classpath. read details from here [Class Loading](https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/class-loading.html) btw, I am mongolian too 😅 ---
