I have a code that currently gets all jars from the classpath:

final URLClassLoader loader = (URLClassLoader) MyClass.class.getClassLoader();
URL[] urls = loader.getURLs();

This works fine with Java 8, but not in Java 11.

In Java 11 we have to change the mechanism to use System.getProperty("java.class.path")

This works ok, but breaks when using mvn exec:java because the classloader in that plugin is plexus.
The only jar in the classpath is /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.0/libexec/boot/plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar.

Is there a way to get all the jars for this maven plugin or classloader?

What are you trying to accomplish? – khmarbaise Feb 04 '19 at 17:53
The full code is resolving properties from yaml file with name correspond to each jar file loaded. – oshai Feb 04 '19 at 19:28
