Evosuite Plugin Issue with Java 11

[Shihad Salam]

Hi Team,

I'm facing issues with Evosuite maven plugin (version 1.0.6) when upgrading from Java 8 to Java 11. While running maven build, evosuite test class failed with the error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException on my Sample_ESTest.java file.

pom.xml

    <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.evosuite</groupId>
        <artifactId>evosuite-standalone-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.6</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.evosuite.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>evosuite-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.6</version>
        </plugin>

Sample_ESTest.java

@RunWith(EvoRunner.class) @EvoRunnerParameters(mockJVMNonDeterminism = true, useVFS = true, useVNET = true, resetStaticState = true, separateClassLoader = true, useJEE = true) 
public class Sample_ESTest {
...
}

To get more details of the issue, I tried executing evosuite help command (mvn evosuite:help) and got the following error:

Failed to execute goal org.evosuite.plugins:evosuite-maven-plugin:1.0.6:help (default-cli) on project tms-segmentation: Execution default-cli of goal org.evosuite.plugins:evosuite-maven-plugin:1.0.6:help failed: Plugin org.evosuite.plugins:evosuite-maven-plugin:1.0.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.0.0 at specified path C:\My_Space\Tools\JDK\jdk-11.0.8/../lib/tools.jar

Error says could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.0.0, but as per my understanding tools.jar is removed in Java11. Could you please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance!
