Maven command build "mvn clean install" fails to run maven-surefire-plugin tests and generates error SurefireBooterForkException.
Background
Found that there was a bug in maven-surefire-plugin as reported here: stackoverflow.com/Spring Boot fails to run maven-surefire-plugin in the old version, and this was fixed in 3.0.0-M1 as mentioned on the ticket Surefire manifest jar classloading broken
Current Issue The same issue of maven-surefire-plugin still exists in the latest versions "3.0.0-M4"/"3.0.0-M5":

Any help will be appreciated!!!
Notes:
- Using the JRE "1.8.0_121" / Maven “3.8.3”
- No issue within STS/Eclipse - 'Run As > Maven Tests'
<forkCount>0</forkCount>resolves the maven command build issue, but this consumes too much time in running all tests
